Q

What are some suggestions for assessing people with obesity

A

that healthcare providers involved in screening, assessing and managing people living with obesity use the 5As of Obesity Management framework to initiate the discussion

Healthcare providers can measure height, weight and calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) in all adults

We suggest a comprehensive history to identify root causes of weight gain as well as complications of obesity and potential barriers to treatment be included in the assessment

Q

why would increasing energy expenditure work for weight loss?

A

Effect on energy balance is proportional to increase in EE
Increase fat and CHO oxidation would be expected to have favorable health consequences

21
Q

why wouldn’t increasing energy expenditure work for weight loss?

A

Achievable amounts of exercise lead to small increases in EE Adherence to changes in exercise/PA is poor
Increasing EE could be linked to compensatory increases in EI .

22
Q

Why would an increase in exercise intensity work for weight loss?

A

Same energy expenditure in less time
Greater improvements in
Greater fitness and other risk factors preservation of FFM Decreased appetite after High Intensity exercise
Variety/More enjoyable for some people

23
Q

Why wouldn’t an increase in exercise intensity work for weight loss?

A

Less enjoyable
Less accessible
Greater risks/safety concerns
Less self efficacy (belief in ability to perform such activities)

24
Q

why wouldn’t resistance training work for weight loss?

A

Effect on FFM is small
Effect on FFM during energy restriction is even smaller.
Therefore effect on RMR is likely not meaningful
Energy cost of resistance training is small (see compendium of physical activity.

25
Q

what can resistance training cause a change in?

A

body composition

26
Q

what is class 1 obesity

A

BMI of 30 to < 35

27
Q

What is class 2 obesity

A

BMI of 35 to < 40

28
Q

What is class 3 obesity

A

BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “severe” obesity.

29
Q

Why would exercise for class 2/3 obesity work

A

Can contribute to negative energy balance
Can improve health
Can improve quality of life
Improve response to bariatric surgery

30
Q

Why wouldn’t exercise for class 2/3 obesity work

A

Fitness too low to achieve meaningful energy expenditure
Too many comorbidities that could be worsened by exercise (e.g., joint pain…)
Time for exercise and fatigue from exercise could interfere with other activities

31
Q

what sort of things do you have to consider when working with class 2/3 obesity?

A

access to your facility
access to your equipment
adapated exercises
adapted places to sit

A

–psychological & environmental
–initiation/termination of meals, size, composition, frequency
–lifestyle habits, drive to seek tasty foods, enjoyment, social

33
Q

What are the 4 components to the physiology of energy intake?

A

1) Afferent peripheral hormonal signaling
*Appetite (orexigenic)
*Satiety (anorexigenic)
2) Central integration
3) Efferent signaling
4) Behaviouralchange

34
Q

What is the vagus nerve and what is it responsible for?

A

the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system, controls digestion, heart rate, immune system

Important source of indirect neuronal stimulation
● Composed of efferent/ afferent sensory fibers
● May be involved directly with CNS or indirectly with these peripheral peptides

35
Q

Difference between HIIT and SIT interval training

A

HIIT- intervals up to maximal
SIT- intervals above maximal

36
Q

What is important to note about exercise for an individual

A

different exercise can affect a person differently

37
Q

what can high intensity exercise do to your body

A

affect blood flow to your gut- affects appetite
gastrointestinal motility
fatty acid factors
blood glucose insulin

38
Q

What do high doses of bicarbonate do to blood lactate levels

A

High doses of sodium bicarbonate increase lactate levels and delay exhaustion in a cycling performance test

38
Q

What do high doses of bicarbonate do to blood lactate levels

A

High doses of sodium bicarbonate increase lactate levels and delay exhaustion in a cycling performance test
