Physical Activity Flashcards
Fitness v.
Activity v.
Exercise
-measurable state
-any mvt
-planned
Muscle fiber types I&II
-mito
-E source
-duration
I: slow-twitch
-↑↑ mito
-E from ox metab
-fatigue resistant, long activities
II: fast-twitch
-E from glycolysis
-forceful, sprinting
TDEE =
(%’s)
REE (BMR) + TEM (TEF) + EEPA
(60-75%) + 10% +15-35%
EEPA =
EE from physical activity
= exercise + NEAT
~150-500 kcal/d
- most variable, up to 2000 kcal!
NEAT sources
occupational
transportation
leisure
fidgeting
*often most variable btw ppl
VO2
-def
-units
= volume of O2 consumed per minute
- L/min or mL/kg/min
measure of “aerobic fitness”
Predicted VO2 max based on:
1 mile walk test
3 min step test
MET
-def
-1 MET =
-2 MET =
= metabolic equivalent of task (i.e. E “cost”)
-estimates EE for PA
1 MET = avg resting O2 consumption (RMR)
= 3.5 mL/kg/min
2 MET = 2x RMR
MET categories
<3: Light (driving = 2)
3-6: Mod (e.g brisk walk = 5… 4 mph)
> 6: Vig (25-49 lbs up stairs)
Resting VO2 & age, BMI
VO2 ↓ with:
↑ age or ↑ BMI
Lean body mass % and breakdown
- widely variable btw indivuals (genetics, gender, race, age, nutrition, and PA)
75% of total body mass:
-40% muscle
-25% organs
-10% bone
-also water, ligs/tends
LBM vs. FFM
Both include h2o, minerals, protein, and glycogen
FFM:
DXA measures fat, soft tissue, bone
FFM = total mass - fat mass
*LBM also includes essential fat in organs, CNS, marrow
Sarcopenic obesity
-onset of mm loss
-contributors
*skeletal mm begins decline at age 30 yo, >65, >80
*factors: ↓ PA, ↓ BMR of adipose
*eccentric mvmts beneficial for strength and ↓ IM fat = “negs”, contract while lengthening
Obesity and walking
-source of biomechanical load linking obesity to OA, esp knee
-↑ ground rxn forces (GRF) with ↑ bw
-consider SLOWER speeds with WIDER stance
Exercise Rx
Freq
Int
Type
Timing
Enjoyment
Freq
-# days/wk is NOT DEFINED, except 2+ days of strength training
-choose something safe and realistic for individual
Int Recs
Mod:
150-300 min/wk
-starting to get challenging
-conversation more effort
Vig:
-75 min/wk
-hard work
-conversation difficult
