Q

what is the process of training-induced muscle adaptation

A
  1. muscle contraction activates signal pathways to promote adaptation
  2. results in gene expression and synthesis of new proteins
  3. adaptations dependent on mode, intensity, and duration of activity

25
2 parts of prescription of medicine
dose, effect
26
FITT principle
Frequency (days per week), Intensity, Time (minutes of exercise), Type (activity)
27
how is VO2max measured
Direct: Graded exercise test Indirect: heartrate, estimations
28
% Heart rate reserve equation
HR / (HR max - resting HR)
29
Borg Scale
quantify exercise intensity, originally 6-20 now 0-10
30
guidelines for improving fitness
screening, progression, warm up, cool down
31
which diseases involve controlling glucose during exercise
type 1 and 2 diabetes
32
which diseases involve controlling lung function and immune system during exercise
asthma and COPD
33
which diseases involve controlling vascular and cardiac function during exercise
hypertension and myocardial infarction
34
asthma
shortness of breath and wheezing, due to contraction and inflammation of smooth muscle airways
35
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
includes bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma, limits activities, may require oxygen
36
who is cardiac rehabilitation recommended for
angina pectoris, myocardial infraction, coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty
37
three phases of cardiac rehabilitation
1. inpatient exercise program 2. outpatient exercise, close supervision 3. less direct supervision, may be home-based
38
how much does vo2 max decline in older adults
1% per year
39
major adaptations to pregnancy
- blood volume increases 40-50% - oxygen uptake and heart rate are higher during rest and during exercise - cardiac output is higher at rest and during exercise in first two trimesters
40
what are the exercise recommendations for cancer patients
- multiple short sessions - preferred aerobic modalities - strength and flexibility at least 2 days per week
41
High-intensity interval training
repeated cycles of short duration high intensity exercise with recovery periods
42
what are the components of metabolic syndrome
increased BP, high triglycerides, large waistline, low hdl cholesterol, elevated fasting blood sugar
43
hypertension metabolic syndrome measurement
> 130/80 mm Hg
44
what causes many chronic diseases
inflammation / obesity
45
glycemic index
measurement of how a specific carb food elevates blood glucose levels (higher is worse for health)
46
benefits of fiber
promotes bowel movement, reduces risk of diverticular disease, lowers cholesterol levels
47
protein function
contractile elements for muscle, membrane transporters, enzymes, hormones
48
how many amino acids does the body need
20, 9 are essential
49
energy intake of macronutrients
carbs: 45-65% fats: 20-35% Protein: 10-35%
50
RDA for protein

51
what source of protein contains all 9 amino acids
animal sources
52

1. triglycerides (stored form) 2. Phospholipids (found in membranes) 3. Sterols (make hormones and some vitamins)
53
Adequate intake of water
2.7 L per day (women), 3.7 L per day (men)
54
requirements to be a vitamin
- body can't synthesize compound or make enough - compound found naturally in foods - when compound is missing, it results in poor health
55
two-compartment model of body compostition
fat mass, fat free mass
56
BMI equation
Weight (kg) / height (m^2)
57
equation for energy balance
change in body macronutrient stores = energy intake - energy expenditure
58
popular low carb diets
akins, south beach, zone, ketogenic
59
popular low fat diets
Mediterranean, ornish
60
popular high protein diets
paleo
61
popular nutritionally-balance diets with restricted calories
weight watchers, jenny craig
62
key factors that influence adherence to diet
sense of full feeling, satiety, a variety of foods
63
fatigue
inability to maintain power output or force during repeated muscle contractions
64
central fatigue factors
central nervous system, reduction in motor units activated and firing frequency
65
peripheral fatigue factors
neural factors, mechanical factors, energetics of contraction
66
muscle in vivo
measures fatigue of muscle in the body
67
sarcolemma and transverse tubules on fatigue
altered muscle membrane conduction and action potentials (Na and K pump can't maintain amplitude and frequency) action potential block in the T-tubules (reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca release)
68
how much should training increase per week
less than or 10% increase
69
progressive resistance exercise
periodically increasing resistance to continue to overload the muscle
70
linear periodization
shift from high volume/low intensity to low volume/high intensity training
71
male strength difference over females
upper body 50% stronger lower body 30% stronger men exhibit greater hypertrophy long term
72
common training mistakes
overtraining undertraining performing non-specific exercises lack of a long-term training plan failure to taper
73
symptoms of overtraining
decrease in performance loss of body weight chronic fatigue more infections psychological staleness elevated HR and blood lactate levels
74
Tapering
short term reduction in training load prior to competition to allow muscles to resynthesize glycogen and heal from training damage
75
female athlete triad
low energy availability leading to menstrual dysfunction and low bone mineral density
