Hot Topic: Resistance Training Flashcards
How can weight loss occur with exercise alone
more exercise than the recommended amount is needed due to the lack of diet adjustment
What pattern has the highest success possibility of weight loss
diet + exercise
What is the equation for muscle maintenance
protein synthesis = protein breakdown
What is the equation for muscle atrophy
protein synthesis < protein breakdown
What is the equation for muscle hypertrophy
protein synthesis > protein breakdown
What is protein catabolism
protein breakdown
What is protein anabolism
protein synthesis
Energy restriction reduces _______ ________ ________ with no effect on ______ _______ ________
reduced muscle protein synthesis with no effect on muscle protein breakdown
The loss of muscle mass during energy restriction is due to _____________ not elevated muscle protein breakdown
fasted and fed muscle protein synthesis
What can be done to reduce loss of muscle mass in weight loss
increased protein intake when reducing energy intake
Is protein enough to prevent declines in muscle protein synthesis and muscle mass when doing severe energy restriction
no, protein is not enough
What type of exercise is beneficial in high quality weight loss, including during severe deficit
resistance training exercise
What gender has higher muscle protein synthesis in exercise training
males
Which gender has less research in scientific literature
women
When should athletes begin energy restriction to see optimal results
early on - slow rate of weight loss is most ideal
