Lecture J Flashcards
Female athlete triad
- Energy availability
- Bone mineral density
- Menstrual function
Most negative health effects seen
30kcal/kg FFM
bone strength and risk of fracture depend on
density of bone
internal structure of bone mineral
quality of bone protein
T/F
fracture rate doubles for each reduction of one standard deviation in BMD
T
Hypoestrpogenism causes increase in
LDL
T/F
in athlete, calorie deficit due to exercise
does NOT increase hunger
T
in postmenopausal women, primary cause of osteoporosis
is
Estrogen deficiency
Estrogen deficiency increases
Bone resorption.
osteoporosis can also occur secondary to other medical
conditions:
Hypogonadal states
Hyperthyrodism
Nutritional deficiencies 8
Low BMD combination of
Estrogen deficiency
Chronic under nutrition
2 anti-osteopenia hormones
Leptin
Cortisol
OCP will normalize menstrual cycles
T
OCP will normalize metabolic factors that impair bone formation, health and performance
F
Will NOT
T/F
OCP will probably minimize BMD losses
T
Why is exercise good for diabetics
increased insulin sensitivity
improved glucose transport
reduced HR and BP at rest
maintenance of LBM and weight reduction (if necessary)
