Q

Effects of physical activity on human phys-respiration?

A

• Being active increases O2 consumption

• When you exercise, O2 increases because of more ATP is needed to perform the activity.
-Need CO2 out as Muscles are working, need to have that exchange

Q

hat are the 4 major events of respiration?

A

○ Pulmonary ventilation or the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the atmosphere and the lungs
○ Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood (important because it can get more efficient)
○ Transport of O2 and CO2 in the blood to tissues
○ Regulation and ventilation

Q

How can diffusion in respiration get more efficient?

A

Can increase max O2 consumption as you train. You have a greater ability to work at higher intensity and greater ability to consume O2.
-Males can double

Q

What adaptions we see in the body with training in regards to cardiac output?

A

○ Potential increases in heat muscle mass
○ Resting cardiac output remains similar to a normal person however
- Increase stroke volume at a decrease heart ratee (more blood pumped out of the heart per beat)
○ Resting heart rate is lower because you pump more out and therefore beat less per minute

Q

How is insulin sensitivity improved with physical activity?

A

○ Due to increasedes in insulin signalling intermediate
○ Increases in GLUT 4 protein. Goes to the surface as well as insulin but GLUT 4 is not affected by diabetes
○ GLUT 4 stays elevated after exercise for 48hours
○ Exercise increase insulin signal and increases glucose uptake.

31
Q

What is the difference between resistance vs aerobic PA?

A

Res:
• 3x per week 30-60 mins, 5-10 groups and 8-12 reps
• Don’t have a steady state of O2

Aerobic:
•3x per week, 40-60mins 60-85% VO2 max

32
Q

What are the results form resistance or aerobic PA?

A

• Reductions in HbA1c, fasting glucose, blood lipids, BP similar
• Aerobic exercise may improve BMI and fitness more so
-Effort exerted is greater beacsue the duration is typically longer. Potential to burn more cals

33
Q

What is the TEE and the TEE equation?

A

Total energy expenditure

TEE= BMR/RMR + DIT+ AEE

34
Q

What is RMR/BMR?

A

○ Makes up 60-75% of TEE
○ The amount of energy requires at rest to maintain body temp and involuntary muscles contractions
○ BMR and arousal/wakening
○ Affected by age, gender, body comp and body size
○ RMR and BMR tend to follow lean tissue

35
Q

What is t DIT?

A

Diet induced thermogenesis

• DIT makes up 10% of TEE
○ Protein increases this the most. Takes a lot of energy to burn

36
Q

What is AEE?

A

makes up 20-30% of TEE

37
Q

What are the benefits of PA to Brian health?

A

• Most observtoinal studies deomonstrate a bneeficial effect of pysical activity and fitness on cognitive capabilities
• Improvement in some aspects of cognitive functions
○ Executive function: learning, task orientation
• Type of activity may play a role

38
Q

How does the type of activity play a role in Brian health benefits?

A

○ Aerobic= increases BDNF-brain derived neutrophic factor(hippocampus)
- Miracle growth for your brain. The more you have the more neurons you get

○ Resistance=Increase IGF:insulin like growth factor-1
- Also stimulates more neuron growths

○ Coordination activities

39
Q

What are other improvements and increase that PA has on Brain health?

A

○ Increases in grey matter volume and number of neuronal cells
○ Improvements in vascularization and blood flow
○ Improvements in overall neuronal health

40
Q

What is linked to the Brian through evolution?

A

earning and movement are linked in the brain through evolution

• Every-time we learn something new we make a new connections; this connection strengthen over time as we continued to be exposed to the same “learning”; eventually it becomes a long term potentiation

New learning=new pathways ; more neurons

41
Q

What did the BOKS study show?

A

Before school program

Demonstrated a 17% improvement in international test scores compared to controls
• Gave kids a mark for participation in the morning and then put math and science classes right after

A
• Monitoring and goal setting
• Prioritization
• Making it part of their day
• Affect beliefs and attitudes toward PA
• Past experience with PA
• Enjoyment 
What makes PA fun for you
50
Q

Compared to popular belief, what is not the best weightless behaviour?

A

PA depending on what people do they can actually gain weight

-Circumference will go down first before body weight

51
Q

What is HIIT and SIIT?

A

○ High intensity intermittent training

○ SIIT: sprint intervals

52
Q

What has HIIT and SIIT been show to do?

A

○ Improve glucose control in just 2 weeks of training (6 sessions)
○ Improve adiposity (body comp)
○ Improved EPOC
○ Decrease DBP
-better predictor of hear t health, takes all the pressure from the blood)
○ Improved cardio fitness

53
Q

Why is HIIT so effective?

A

It recruits nbot slow stitch and fast twitch muscle fibres- which leads to and enhanced rate of fuel (ATP) use (similar to that observed with lower intensity exercise)

Repeated sprints leads to a shift form anaerobic to aerobic metabolism, and also causes repeated bouts of stress leading to more adaptations

It triggers the same signalling molecules that are responsible for endurance exercise-induced muscles remodelling (mitochondria biogenesis)

While the energy expended during the activity is less than say a longer moderates intesity exerisde- EPOC likely makes up some of the difference

54
Q

What are useful strategies to stick with PA?

A
Scheduling, 
devices, 
doing something you like, 
be active when kids are active, 
set goals are rewards
55
Q

What are the 3 tools for success?

A

Pedometer
HR monitor
Accelerators

56
Q

What is the point of pedometers?

A

Simple estimate of the volume of PA (does not measure intensity)
-direct measure of movement

57
Q

What are the Benefits of pedometers?

A

○ Most sensitivt to things like walking
Measure vertical accelrations at the hip
Can correct for non ambulatoru activity by adding 200 step

58
Q

Why are the pedometers useful?

A
Inexpensive , 
Realtime feedback, 
don’t need to be litrate to read them, 
small, 
convenient, 
personalized results
59
Q

Why do people use pedometers?

A

If you give someone a pedometer they normally increase by 2500 steps per day

Flexibility to see where youre at and do what you need to accordingly and on your own time

60
Q

What are the cons in pedometers?

A

Long term adherence is unknown cause fascination with gadgets only lasts so long

Does not account for slow paced activities, depending on the sensitivity of the device

61
Q

What is an accelerator?

A

○ These monitor movement in more than 1 plane

○ Measures the magnitude and direction of acceleration via counts

§ Can estimate energy expenditure

62
Q

How do measure accelerator?

A

Count of 100cmp or less is considered sedentary for adults

Light 1500-1950
Moderate activity 1950-5700
Vigorous >5700

63
Q

What are the cons to accelerators?

A

They cant tell the difference than sitting and standing

64
Q

Why do people use HR monitors?

A

Have all benefits of pedometer plus with HR you get intensity

65
Q

What does HR correlate well with?

A

VO2

66
Q

What is the downfall of HR monitors?

A

HRmonitors don’t do well at lower intensities and highr intensities, but anything between that is very good

67
Q

How do you determine your max HR?

A

220-your age

68
Q

What is HR ?

A

A measure of the relative street placed on the CV system during movement

69
Q

Is there such thing as too much physical activity?

A
  • If you are vigorously active a lot it’s the same mortality rate than someone who is sedentary
  • You can overtrain, anyone can do this
  • Stress moderate amounts of stress can cause great adaptations and benefits in us, if we do too much it can be not good
