Physical Activity/Aging Lecture 10/5
This lecture focused on metabolism research and physical activity (spontaneous physical activity and resistance exercise) that can very positively affect the energy expenditure in VPs (vintage persons)

What is the definition of metabolism?

Other terms of metabolism to know: TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), RMR (resting metabolic rate), AT (activity thermogenesis--remember, this is structured exercise and spontaneous physical activity), NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis--which is part of AT; what are some examples of AT activities?), TEF (thermic effect of food), thermogenesis (generating heat and/or energy)

Dr. Kravitz proceeded to present some recent research on NEAT with 20 self-proclaimed 'couch potatoes', some who were obese and some were lean. What was the major finding of this study? How many more minutes per day were the 'lean' couch potatoes on their feet? On average the lean individuals expended an additional HOW MANY extra kilocalories per day just by being more active?

What would be the best way to add NEAT to a persons daily life of the following? 1) Sitting and fidgeting, 2) Standing and fidgeting, 3) Walking 1 mph, 4) Walking 3 mph

Short ESSAY preparation for exam. Be able to discuss SEVERAL ways a non-exercisers can add activity to their daily life.

What is metabolic profiling? Be ready to create a metabolic profile if Dr. Kravitz gives you the daily regime of this person. Be ready to suggest ways to add activity interventions to a persons daily life.

Muscle comprises what percent of weight in the adult human body?

What percent of proteins are in muscle?

The metabolic rate of muscle is what in kcal/kg/day?

60 percent of the RMR comes from what organs of the body? (hint: liver, kidneys, heart, and brain)

Results from resistance training research shows that most people add how much muscle (in kg) from continuous resistance training?

So, from resistance exercise, what is the increase in kilocalories per day that most people will realize with regular resistance training?

How meaningful is an extra 50 kilocalories per day from resistance training?

After exercise, your body's metabolism is speeded up. What is this called?

About how long does E.P.O.C. last?

How many extra kilocalories will a person burn from E.P.O.C.?

What programs burn the most amount of E.P.O.C.?

Does resistance training also have a high E.P.O.C.?

What do diets do to a person's RMR? What is the best way to prevent the lowering of the RMR from a diet?

During submaximal exercise, what gender is more efficient at burning fat?

For weight loss, ACSM recommends how many minutes per week of moderately vigorous exercise?

Starting at 20 years, metabolic rate drops how many percent each decade?
What medications a VP may be taking will slow down his/her metabolic rate?
