Name the different nutritional guidelines. | Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance, Adequate Intake, & Tolerable Upper Intake Level |
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) | Amount of nutrients needed by half of the people in any one age group; deciphers population'd diet. |
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) | Average daily amount of a single nutrient that one needs to protect against nutritional deficiency (determined by EAR). |
Adequate Intake (AI) | Not enough information to seat an RDA. |
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) | Highest level of a nutrient one can consume without risk of toxicity. |
Energy Density | The amount of energy in a food per unit of weight. |
Nutrient Density | The amount of nutrients per total calories in food. |
Discretionary Calories | Calories left over after you have met your nutrient goal by eating nutrient dense foods from all food groups. |
What are the six essential nutrients? | Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Water, Vitamins, & Minerals |
Which nutrients are Macronutrients? | Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, & Water. |
Which nutrients are Micronutrients? | Vitamins & Water |
What is the main function of Protein? | Structural components: skin, muscles, organs, and glands. |
What is the main function of Carbohydrates? | #1 source of neurologic energy. Fuels high-intensity activities. |
What is the main function of Fats? | Principle form of stored energy. Insulates the body, supports and cushions organs, absorb fat-soluble vitamins, add flavor and texture to foods. |
What is the main function of Water? | Digest, absorb, transport nutrients. Regulate body temperature. Carries waste products out of the body. |
What is the main function of Vitamins? | Catalyst for releasing energy. Aid in chemical reactions. Help maintain immune, nervous, and skeletal systems. |
What is the main function of Minerals? | Build strong bones and teeth. Assist in carrying out metabolic processes. Maintain proper functioning of most body systems. |
Which of the essential nutrients supply energy? How much do each supply? | Carbohydrates & Protein. 4 calories/gram; fat = 9 calories/gram |
Name the two different types of fats. | Saturated & Unsaturated. |
Give an example of a saturated fat. | Trans-fats: partially vs. fully. |
Give an example of unsaturated fats. | Monosaturated (good fats) & Polyunsaturated (Omega 3 & 6). |
RDA for fiber for men. | 38 grams/day. |
RDA for fiber for women. | 25 grams/day. |
Insoluble fiber: | Feeling of fullness; natural laxative. |
Soluble fiber: | Lowers blood cholesterol; maintains blood glucose levels. |
Complete Proteins: | Meat sources. |
Incomplete Proteins: | Plant sources. |
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) | Number of calories needed at rest. |
Portion Size: | Amount of food eaten at one time. |
Serving Size: | Amount of food listed on the Nutrition Facts. |
What should you look for on a nutrition label? | Serving Size, Calories from Fat, Nutrients, Daily Value Percentage, & The Daily Value. |
What are some of the consumer concerns? | Food Allergies/Intolerance's, High-Sodium/Fast Food, Energy Drinks/Food, Consumption of Sugar. |
How does the book define Organic? | Plant foods that are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and animal foods that come from animals raised on organic feed without antibiotics or growth hormones. |
Physical Activity: | Any movement of the body. |
Exercise: | Structured, planned. |
Physical Fitness: | Set of attributes - related to health, performance and/or other activities. |
What are the Physical Activity Guidelines for children? | 60+ minutes/day of moderate-vigorous. 3+ days of vigorous. 3+ days of bone/muscle strengthening. |
What are the Physical Activity Guidelines for adults? | 150 minutes/week moderate-vigorous; or 75 minutes/week vigorous (at least 10 minute episodes). 300 minutes/week moderate-vigorous; or 150 minutes/week vigorous. Muscle strengthening 2+ days/week. Flexibility training 2-3 day/week. |
Baseline: | Activities of daily life; light intensity. |
Skill-Related: | Components/attributes influence performance level - less related to health. |
Health Enhancing: | Direct effect on health status, disease risk, and day-to-day functioning. |
Aspects of health-enhancing activities: | Cardiorespiratory endurance, Muscle strength, Muscle endurance, Flexibility,Body Composition. |
Cardiorespiratory Endurance: | Circulatory + respiratory systems = sustained physical activity. Prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise. |
Muscle Strength: | Ability of muscle(s) to generate force. |
Muscle Endurance: | Sustain effort via continuous/repeated exertion (Yoga) |
Flexibility: | Ability to joint to move through its range of motion (ROM). |
Body Composition: | Non-performance metric. Fat mass vs. fat-free mass. |
Describe the Principles of Training | Progressive Overload, Interval Training, Circuit Training, Cross Training, Recovery, Specificity, Individuality, Reversibility. |
FITT: | Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type. |
Body Weight: | Mass of an organism's body. |
Body Composition: | Body's relative amounts of fat mass and fat-free mass. |
3 factors related to a healthy body weight. | Acceptable BMI. Fat distribution not a risk for illness. Absence of medical conditions suggesting need for weight loss/gain. |
Factors that affect body composition: | Genetics, Gender, Age, Metabolism, Fat Cells. |
Set Point Theory: | Brain regulates body weight around a genetically predetermined level or "set point" |
BMI classifications: | Waist Circumference & Waist-to-hip ratios. |
How much essential fat do men need? | 3-5% of total body weight. |
How much essential fat do women need? | 8-12% of total body weight. |
