Question
Answer
Benefits of Fitness   Sleep is more restful, Allows people to eat more, Better bone density, Improve cardiovascular and immune system, and Reduce anxiety, cancer, and diabetes  
🗑
Four diseases closely linked to a lack of physical activity   High BP, Heart disease, Cancer and Stroke  
🗑
Sedentary   Physically inactive  
🗑
Three components of fitness   Flexibility, Strength, and Endurance  
🗑
Progressive Overload Principle   Training system that gradually increases the demand on the body  
🗑
Hypertrophy   Increase in cell size  
🗑
Atrophy   Decrease in cell size  
🗑
Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers   Contain a lot of myoglobin, mitochondria, and aerobic enzymes, contracts for long period- endurance  
🗑
Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers   Contain large cells w/ little myoglobin, but full of glycogen, very powerful but tires quickly  
🗑
ATP (or Adenosine Triphosphate)   Nucleic acid that release energy when its last phosphate is broken off  
🗑
PC (or Phosphocreatine)   Gives a phosphate to used ATP to restore it, short lasting, can't store too much  
🗑
Glycogen Use During Exercise   Glycogen is stored in muscles and broken into glucose, enough for 2hrs high carbs ups glycogen formation  
🗑
Oxygen Debt   Deficiency of O2 that occurs in muscle when cardiovascular can't keep up, lactic acid produced  
🗑
Fat Use During Low Intensity Activity   Fatty acids in blood used to make ATP, then Epine is released causing adipose cells to release fatty acids  
🗑
Fat Use During High Intensity Activity   Decreases fat use because fats needs more oxygen to break down  
🗑
Protein Use During Physical Activity   Protein synthesis is suppressed during exercise, protein provide 10% of fuel for activity  
🗑
What are the vitamin and mineral RDAs for active for active people?   Same for inactive people  
🗑
Hyperthermia   Increase body temp  
🗑
Heat Stroke   Body temp of 105F+, Causes nausea, dry skin, irritability, poor coordination, confusion, and seizures  
🗑
Hypothermia   Abnormally low body temp  
🗑
Disadvantages of Sports Drinks   Do not prevent salt depletion, glucose is of no value to the moderate exerciser  
🗑
Advantages of Sports Drinks   Replaces salt after exercise, physiological and taste advantages  
🗑
Exercise induced Fe deficiency   Occurs because iron leaves in sweat, RBCs are destroyed with impact, and Fe is poorly absorbed during exercise  
🗑
Problems of Female Athletes   Amenorrhea, low estrogen levels, infertility and bone loss, often acquired eating disorders  
🗑
Carbohydrate Loading   Exhausted exercise w/ restricted carbs diet followed by less exercise w/high carbs diet  
🗑
Purpose of Carbohydrate Loading   Force glycogen into muscle  
🗑
Side effects of Carbohydrate Loading   Arrythmias, Ketosis, Nausea, Dizziness, and Fatigue  
🗑
