Exam 14: Energy Balance, Physical Activity

In adults, brown fat spurs the body to burn calories to generate body heat without ATP production via uncoupled metabolism.

Intense aerobic training should not coincide with resistance training when trying to achieve maximal increases in muscle mass.

From a public health perspective, the risks from overfatness and obesity far exceed those for weight cycling.

Vigorous physical activity increases the risk of premature mortality for women and men.

Comorbidities caused by obesity represent the second leading cause of preventable death in America.

The elevated thermic effect of dietary protein, with its relatively low coefficient of digestibility particularly for plant protein, reduces the net calories available from ingested protein compared with a well-balanced meal of equivalent caloric value.

An effective calorie-burning strategy replaces daily periods of inactivity with additional physical activity requiring greater energy expenditure.

Resistance training.

Low-carbohydrate diets.

Modest weight reduction decreases insulin sensitivity and increases low-density lipoprotein levels.

Standard dietary approach to help obese patients to lose weight that decreases caloric intake below the requirement for current weight maintenance.

Typical resistance training performed regularly positively impacts three factors.

A reasonable goal progressively increases moderate physical activity to between __________ or a level that burns __________ kilocalories weekly.

Best strategy to minimize sarcopenia with aging.

Increases resistance to satiety chemicals.

The threshold energy expenditure to stimulate body fat loss with exercise equals about 300 kilocalories per day.

Most favorable physical activity strategy to alter body composition in overfat boys and girls.

Selective physical activity of specific body areas proves more effective for localized fat loss than more general physical activity.

Research indicates no genetic link for susceptibility to obesity.

Most effective strategy to reduce excess body fat.
