[52] Impacts of Sedentary Lifestyle on Thermogenesis Flashcards
What is the relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and thermogenesis?
A sedentary lifestyle can reduce thermogenesis due to decreased physical activity, leading to lower energy expenditure.
How does a sedentary lifestyle impact non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)?
A sedentary lifestyle decreases NEAT due to less movement and physical activity throughout the day.
What impact can a sedentary lifestyle have on resting metabolic rate (RMR)?
Sedentary lifestyle can lower RMR as there is less need for energy expenditure when the body is at rest.
How might a sedentary lifestyle affect diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT)?
A sedentary lifestyle may reduce DIT as fewer calories are burned in response to eating, due to overall lower energy requirements.
How does a sedentary lifestyle influence thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT)?
Sedentary lifestyle can decrease BAT activity, as less heat production is needed due to reduced physical activity.
What are potential effects of a sedentary lifestyle on shivering thermogenesis?
A sedentary lifestyle may reduce the need for shivering thermogenesis due to less exposure to cold from outdoor activities.
How might a sedentary lifestyle impact thermogenesis-associated hormones, like thyroxine?
Sedentary lifestyle can lead to reduced production of thermogenesis-associated hormones due to lower metabolic demands.
How could a sedentary lifestyle affect body temperature regulation?
A sedentary lifestyle could lead to a lower body temperature as less heat is generated from physical activity.
How might a sedentary lifestyle contribute to obesity through its impact on thermogenesis?
A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to obesity by reducing overall energy expenditure, including thermogenesis, leading to calorie surplus and weight gain.
How might the impact of a sedentary lifestyle on thermogenesis affect aging?
Reduced thermogenesis due to a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to metabolic decline associated with aging.
How might the thermogenic impacts of a sedentary lifestyle affect cardiovascular health?
Reduced thermogenesis can lead to weight gain and metabolic disturbances, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
How could a sedentary lifestyle influence thermogenesis in skeletal muscle?
Sedentary lifestyle can decrease thermogenesis in skeletal muscle due to less demand for energy from muscle work.
How does the impact of a sedentary lifestyle on thermogenesis relate to the development of metabolic syndrome?
Reduced thermogenesis due to a sedentary lifestyle can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, key features of metabolic syndrome.
What is the role of physical activity in counteracting the impact of a sedentary lifestyle on thermogenesis?
Regular physical activity can increase thermogenesis and energy expenditure, helping to counteract the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
How might changes in sleep patterns due to a sedentary lifestyle impact thermogenesis?
Disruptions in sleep patterns can affect the body’s metabolic processes including thermogenesis.
