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

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

26
What benefits do you see in the rapid short phase of EPOC?
``` Replenish O2 in blood and muscle ATP/P-creatine synthesis Lactate removal Body temp regulation (reduce acidity) Ventilation and repsoation and regulation ```
27
What benefits do you see in the prolonged phase of EPOC?
Re-esterificaiton of FA to take them back up and store them ○ They are released for energy when exercising Protein synthesis ○ Micro tearing of the muscle and bone
28
Can you increase basal metabolic rates?
If you put on more lean tissuee than yes and that thee only way
29
What are the barriers to physical activity for parents?
``` Distance Cost TV Crime/danger Competing Priorities Lack of support Scheduling conflicts Guilt Weather Time: perceived time ```
30
What are the barriers for children/youth?
``` School policiesCrime/danger/ingury Weather Accessibility Fear of teenagers Teachers ```
31
What is the difference between resistance vs aerobic PA?
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
What are the results form resistance or aerobic PA?
• 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
What is the TEE and the TEE equation?
Total energy expenditure TEE= BMR/RMR + DIT+ AEE
34
What is RMR/BMR?
○ 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
What is t DIT?
Diet induced thermogenesis • DIT makes up 10% of TEE ○ Protein increases this the most. Takes a lot of energy to burn
36
What is AEE?
makes up 20-30% of TEE
37
What are the benefits of PA to Brian health?
• 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
How does the type of activity play a role in Brian health benefits?
○ 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
What are other improvements and increase that PA has on Brain health?
○ Increases in grey matter volume and number of neuronal cells ○ Improvements in vascularization and blood flow ○ Improvements in overall neuronal health
40
What is linked to the Brian through evolution?
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
What did the BOKS study show?
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
42
What are the facilitators to PA for parents?
``` Social/Peer facilitators or social support Accessibility Parental role modeling Childs enjoyment Prioritizing Interactive with child ```
43
What are the facilitators to PA for children/youth?
``` Social outlets Accessibility Enjoyment Freedom from parents Alleviate boredom Mobile phones Green spaces and cut-de-sacs ```
44
What are the facilitators/barriers to PA for adolescents??
Attitude toward PA Motivation Perception of competence to perform the activity Perceptions of body image and social norms Fun Peer, fam, teacher and coach influence Availability and access to programs and facilities Life transition periods Preference for other activities
45
What are the barriers to PA for adults with T2DM and obesity?
``` TIME Illness or injury Co-morbidities Competing priorities Weather Feeling tired Boredom ```
46
What are the facilitators to PA for adults with T2DM and obesity??
Social support Health benefits (wt loss) Sense of well being Fitness improvements
47
What are the barriers to PA for older adults?
Lack of time Potential for injury Lack of motivation or discipline Intimidation
48
What are the facilitators to PA for older adults?
``` Health Socialization Accessibility Facilities and programming Knowledgeable staff Physician support Purposeful activities ```
49
What can e learn from adherence to physical activity?/ What factors contribute t their success?
``` • 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
Compared to popular belief, what is not the best weightless behaviour?
PA depending on what people do they can actually gain weight | -Circumference will go down first before body weight
51
What is HIIT and SIIT?
○ High intensity intermittent training | ○ SIIT: sprint intervals
52
What has HIIT and SIIT been show to do?
○ 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
Why is HIIT so effective?
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
What are useful strategies to stick with PA?
``` Scheduling, devices, doing something you like, be active when kids are active, set goals are rewards ```
55
What are the 3 tools for success?
Pedometer HR monitor Accelerators
56
What is the point of pedometers?
Simple estimate of the volume of PA (does not measure intensity) -direct measure of movement
57
What are the Benefits of pedometers?
○ Most sensitivt to things like walking Measure vertical accelrations at the hip Can correct for non ambulatoru activity by adding 200 step
58
Why are the pedometers useful?
``` Inexpensive , Realtime feedback, don’t need to be litrate to read them, small, convenient, personalized results ```
59
Why do people use pedometers?
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
What are the cons in pedometers?
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
What is an accelerator?
○ These monitor movement in more than 1 plane ○ Measures the magnitude and direction of acceleration via counts § Can estimate energy expenditure
62
How do measure accelerator?
Count of 100cmp or less is considered sedentary for adults Light 1500-1950 Moderate activity 1950-5700 Vigorous >5700
63
What are the cons to accelerators?
They cant tell the difference than sitting and standing
64
Why do people use HR monitors?
Have all benefits of pedometer plus with HR you get intensity
65
What does HR correlate well with?
VO2
66
What is the downfall of HR monitors?
HRmonitors don’t do well at lower intensities and highr intensities, but anything between that is very good
67
How do you determine your max HR?
220-your age
68
What is HR ?
A measure of the relative street placed on the CV system during movement
69
Is there such thing as too much physical activity?
* 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
