Q

Fat cell hypertrophy

Hyperplasia

Q

Obesity deaths

A

280k- 325k premature deaths/yr

  • lose 10-20 yrs off life
  • adolescence obesity cause health risk issues even if obesity does not continue

Q

Android obesity

Gyroid obesity

A
  • abdominal gain
    > coronary disease, HPB, diabetes

    (Abdominal fat enters blood stream easier)

Q

Body fat distribution pattern:
WHR

WG

A
  • waist at smallest point (near navel) divided by hip at largest point
    > .80 (w) or .95 (m) = android (bad)

W> 30in - 2x more likely heart disease
M > 40in, W > 35 - elevated risk profile

Q

Active overeating

Passive overeating

A
  • cognitive drive to over consume (in or external)
    > defect in satiety/ appetite regulation
  • normal food intake becomes excessive because of sedentary lifestyle

Q

Thermogenic requirements by macro

A

Fat- 0-2%
Protein- 25-30%
Carb- 6-8%

Lower calorie with higher protein- weight loss, lean muscle, cardiac health

Q

Basal metabolic rate

BMR

A
  • Energy required for living- 60-70% daily expenditure
  • food- 10%
    Activity/ exercise- 15-30%

*key to fighting obesity- NEAT - spontaneous physical activity (park further, take stairs, stand at desk, walking meeting)

NEAT

A

(Larger person can burn extra 350 calories due to weight if adopt active NEAT
- walking meeting, sand desk,, 15min walk once get home/after eat/ after school, stairs

Q

Leptin

A
  • cytokine hormone- secreted by adipose tissue
  • appetite regulator (increase in fat > release Leptin > trigger hypothalamus > reduce appetite
  • transport impaired in obese

Q

Cholecystokinin

A
  • secreted in duodenum + jejunum
  • slows emptying of stomach - satiety signals to hypothalamus
  • possible appetite suppressing supplement

Q

Peptide yy

A
  • hormone released from colon/rectum proportionate to calories consumed
  • acts on hypothalamus to suppress appetite
  • on pancreas to excrete exocrine secretion of digestive juices
  • on gallbladder to release bile
  • more slowly than ckk more rapid than Leptin
  • obesity limits excretion

Q

Genetic factors obesity

A

-25% variation in body weight is genetic

-severe hormone/ gene disorder (monogenic)
Or
- several genetic variations w/ risk environment (polygenic)
-50+ genes/polymorphisms affect food intake/ energy expenditure/ food metabolism

17
Q

Genetic factors effects

Environmental

A
  • affect CNS
    Or
  • peripherally through adipose tissue
  • low income neighborhood- grocery store- fast food/ gas station
  • supermarkets lower obesity
  • fast food is 65% more dense, lower nutrient, larger portion
  • people consume by package, not serving
18
Q

Obesogenic

A

An environment that tends to generate or create a state of obesity
1960- 13.3% obese adults, 4.4% kids
2010- 35.7%, 16.9%

19
Q

type protein

A
  • quality varies- meat/soy = complete
    > vege = incomplete
    -timing- whey- liquid remaining after milk curdled/strained, rapidly digested
    -casein- gives milk white color (majority of milk) slowly digested
20
Q

fats and sport nutrition

A
  • source energy, fat-soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids, 20-25% total kcal
    > no evidence of better performance under 15%
21
Q

pre-exercise fueling

A
  • optimize glucose availability + glycogen stores- provide fuel needed for performance
  • day of- eat about 4-6hrs prior, takes 4 hours for gastro/digestion/and glycogen storage
  • snack 30-60min prior (50 carb, 5-10g protein, low-no fat/fiber)
22
Q

fuel during exercise

A

-provide w/ essential nutrients maintain glucose levels
exercise lasting :
-less than 1 hr, good on existing stores, over 1 hr, glucose levels dwindle, 1-3hrs stores depleted, then blood glucose used
-consume 30-60g carb/hr training (slowly over 15-20min intervals

23
Q

post exercise replenish

A

-replenish glycogen + facilitate muscle repair
> necessary for vigorous training/ multiple sessions a day
> within 30 min after exercise (1.5g/kg)
> high carb meal w/in 2 hrs

24
Q

exercise hydration

pre hydration

A
  • euhydration- normal body water content (light yellow tinge)
  • begin hydration 4 hrs prior slowly consume 5-7ml/kg
    > if no urine, or dark-drink additional 3-5ml/kg
    (2 hrs prior460-1150mg/L sodium stimulate thirst/retain fluid if having trouble)
25
Q

hydration during exercise

A

-prevent loss performance
-1:1 fluid loss/replace (avoid loss greater than 2% bw)
> 8-16oz/hr
-drinks with sodium during prolonged exercise (>2hrs)
-carb containing drinks >1hr exercise
>6-8% of drink (more can cause gastric issue)

26
Q

post hydration

A

-correct imbalance- consume water/carb/electrolyte, if more than 12 hrs between event, normal eating drinking will suffice
> if need quickly-1.5L/kg lost weight (16-24oz/lb lost)
-2hrs prior-500-600ml (17-20oz)
-10-20min during- 7-10oz

27
Q

protein and sports nutrition

A

avg .8-1.0g/kg (.5-.8g/lb) + or - depending on goals

-10-35% total kcal
