Physical function (ADL's) presence of comorbidities smoking status global cognitive funciton systolic blood pressure depression personality traits
Predictors of successful aging
the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in a living organism
metabolism
the transfer and utilization of energy in biological systems
Bioenergetics
Thermodynamics 1st law
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed
Thermodynamics 2nd law
All processes move from ordered to disordered states
a measure of disorder, solid has the least and gas has the most
entropy
Chemical reactions spontaneously proceed in an ___________ direction
energy favorable
Many biological reactions are thermodynamically __________
unfavorable
unfavorable reactions can be driven by _________
coupling with energetically favorable reactions
Energy sources for cellular activity
Carb
fat
Protein
at rest ___ and ___ are used for energy
CHO and fat
____ serves primarily as building blocks for tissue; provides little energy for cellular activity
Protein
Readily available and easily metabolized
CHO
what is glucose taken up by and then converted to glycogen
liver and muscles
where is glycogen stored
liver
Advantages of glycogen for cellular activity
High energy yield per liter of O2 uptake
Metabolized aerobically and anaerobically
Rapid metabolic pathway
Stores can be greatly increased by training and diet
Can provide sole source of energy during heavy exercise
Disadvantages of glycogen for cellular activity
Stored in relatively small amounts, with large amounts of H2O
Anaerobic metabolism results in accumulation of lactate, which can interfere with cellular processes
Muscle cells are dependent on internal glycogen stores, once depleted moderate intensity exercise cant continue
Advantages of fat for cellular activity
Greatest energy value of any fuel
Can be stored in large mounts in tissues throughout the body
Stable energy sources that can be mobilized for used during exercise
Disadvantages of fat for cellular activity
Total caloric value of intermuscular lipid of small compared to glycogen
Only metabolized aerobically
Oxidation yields less energy per liter of O2 consumed than CHO
Majority of fat is stored outside of muscle tissue
Cannot serve as sole energy source
1 gram of CHO yeilds
17 KJ of energy (4 kcal)
1 gram of fat yields
37 KJ of energy (9 kcal)
For every 1 g or glycogen ____
2.7 grams of H2O are stored
can be used as energy source if converted to glucose via glucogenesis
Can generate FFAs in times of starvation through lipogenesis
Protein
CHO would support energy demand for
2-2.5 hours
