Q

What are long-term structural changes to the cardiovascular system with PA?

A

strengthens heart walls, larger and more elastic arteries –> reduces blood pressure (helps increase cardiac output and deliver oxygen to the body/brain more effectively)

37
Q

What does the pima indian study show about rather genes or environment contribute to obesity?

A

it shows that environment drastically contributes (what youre eating and if you are exercising) because the BMI of the arizona indians were far greater than the mexican indians although they were from the same tribe

38
Q

What did we learn about lying, sitting, and standing/ambulating in regards to obesity?

A

lean/obese people often lie the same amount; however, obese people sit far more frequently and lean people stand and ambulated far more frequently

39
Q

What does reverse casualty mean in regards to obesity?

A

you cannot determine if decreased physical activity leads to obesity or if obesity leads to reduction in physical activity

40
Q

What affect did active transportation have on obesity rates?

A

the less active transportation the higher the obesity rate and vice versa

41
Q

What affect did walkability have on obesity rates?

A

high walkability rates enabled people to have higher total physical activity, which helped reduce BMI

42
Q

What affect did occupational physical activity have on obesity rates?

A

if you sit for more than 7.5 hours a day youre 1.6 more times likely to be obese than those who sat for less than 5 hours a day

43
Q

How is diet and exercise related to weight loss? (dengel et al study)

A

that there was an overall more decrease in body weight, lean mass, and fat mass in the group that only changed their diet vs. the group that dieted and exercised

44
Q

What did the madden et al. study design show?

A

those who just dieted weighed the less, however those who did diet and aerobic and strength training lost the most fat

45
Q

The loss of what two tissues associated with diet/exercise intervention?

A

subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue

46
Q

Does long term physical activity help maintain weight?

A

yes

47
Q

What is compensation with exercise?

A

how we make up for the weight we lose. changes energy metabolism and makes energy expenditure more difficult

48
Q

What are the 7 predictors of weight maintenance?

A 
high levels of physical activity
low calorie and low fat diet
eating breakfast
consistent eating pattern 
self-monitoring weight regularly
catching weight gain 
TV viewing < 10 hrs/week
49
Q

What is diabetes?

A

a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia (high glucose concentration in blood)

50
Q

What are complications from diabetes?

heart disease and stroke, hypertension, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, amputations

51
Q

What are the different types of diabetes?

A

type 1, idiopathic diabetes (type 1B), type 2, and gestational

52
Q

What are the tests for diabetes?

A

casual blood glucose, fasting plasma glucose, and 2 hour plasma glucose

53
Q

How is obesity related to diabetes?

A

people with obesity have added pressure on their body’s ability to use insulin to properly control blood sugar levels, and are therefore more likely to develop diabetes

54
Q

Are there special precautions for exercising with diabetes?

A

just need to keep track of blood glucose.. exercise can help control blood glucose easier

55
Q

What is idiopathic diabetes?

A

genetic predisposition, triggered by environment

Q

What is gestational diabetes?

A

the most common complication of pregnancy

highest risk- high BMI, hypertension

BMI

tested to see if strength training helped lower insulin and glucose levels

65

strength training lowered glucose and insulin levels. results were similar with aerobic training

68
Q

What was the hypothesis of the Finnish diabetes prevention study?

A

lifestyle changes will prevent the development of T2DM in subjects with impaired glucose intolerance

69
Q

What was the result of the Finnish diabetes prevention study?

A

incidence of T2DM was half with the intervention group compared to the control group. those who exercised had 80% lower incidence of T2DM

70
Q

What did the diabetes prevention program question?

A

are lifestyle changes better for preventing diabetes then medication?

71
Q

How was the diabetes prevention program conducted?

A

3200 participants w/ glucose intolerance. had 3 groups:
control group: placebo group

lifestyle modification group: diet and physical activity

72
Q

What were the specifics of the lifestyle modification group in the diabetes prevention program?

A

7% weight loss, low calorie and low fat diet, 150 minute of moderate activity a week. 4 year follow up

73
Q

What were the results of the diabetes prevention program?

A

both lifestyle and meds reduce the incidence but lifestyle had the greater beneficial effect
