Average weight gain in college
7.8 lbs WHY? -cafeteria food -sitting on your ass -libations: alcohol
What is the BMI for underweight? normal weight? overweight? obese? underweight: < 18.5 healthy: 18.5-24.9
over: 25.0-29.9 obese: >30.0
When is BMI not appropriate?
-Overestimates muscular athletes -Underestimates frail elderly
energy intake
-amount of food a person eats (Kcals consumed)
energy expenditure
1. resting metabolic rate 2. the thermic effect of food 3. the amount of physical activity
To lose weight... TO maintain weight...
To lose weight coloric restriction is more important - to maintain weight physical activity is more important
Functions of essential nutrients
-provide energy -help build and repair body tissues -help regulate body functions
6 classes of essential nutrients
Fuel nutrients: macronutrients: carb, protein, and fat Regulatory nutrients; micronutrients: vitamins, minerals, and water
define essential nutrients
substances required by the body that must be obtained from food
Calories/gram in CHO, PRO, FAT
Carbs: 4 Protein: 4 Fat: 9 Alcohol: 7
Functions of carbohydrates
-Primary function: energy source -high intensity exercise -Brain, CNS, and red blood cells can only use CHO -regulates fat and protein metabolism
Daily recommendation for CHO
45-65% of daily calories Athletes: 60-70%
Simple sugars, Fibers, and whole grain
Simple Sugars: low nutrient density Fiber: (25g women and 38g men) --lower blood glucose and cholesterol --improved GI health --satiety Whole Grain --digest slower --sugar enter the blood stream slowly --reduced risk of CVD, diabetes, stroke, and some forms of cancer
Functions of Protein
-structure of muscles, bones, organs, skin, nails, hair, etc -necessary for hormone antibodies, and enzymes -energy source when CHO's are not readily available
Amino Acids
the building blocks for proteins --9 essential: cannot be made by the body -11 nonessential: can be made by the body
Complete Protein vs Incomplete Protein
Complete Protein: supplies all essential amino acids --meat. fish, eggs, milk,soy Incomplete Protein: missing at least 1 essential amino acid --legumes, nuts, other plant source
Daily recommendation for PRO
10-35% total daily calories OR .8 gPRO/kg body weight 1.5-2.0gPRO/kg for athletes
Functions of fat
-concentrated energy source a rest and low intensity exercise -absorption of fat-soluble vitamins -necessary for cell structure
Saturated Fats
-No double bonds between carbon atoms -usually solid at room temperature -usually form animal products -----whole milk, cheese, lunch meats, butter, tropical oils -Raise LDL and risk for CVD
Unsaturated Fats
-One (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bonds between carbon atoms -usually liquid at room temp -usually from plant source -----mono: olive, canola, safflower, peanut oil -----poly: soybean, corn, cottonsead oil -Generally lowers LDL -Monounsaturated fats may also in…
Trans Fat or Partially Hydrogenated Oils
-Chemically we can add hydrogen molecules to unsaturated fats -common sources: deep fried foods, cakes, chips, cookies, pastries, doughnuts, margarine -Raises LDL, lowers HDL, may increase risk for CVD and breast cancer
Recommended fat intake
-20-35% daily calories -no more than 7-10% from saturated fat -no trans fat
Recommended total calories
carb: 45-65% protein: 10-35% fat: 20-35%
Vitamins
-ORGANIC -required in small amounts for cellular reactions -Water soluble (9) ----- C, B complex -Fat Soluble (4) -----A, D, E, K -Abundant in fruits, vegetables, and grains
Minerals
-INORGANIC -Functions ---help regulate body functions ---aid in growth and maintenance of body tissues ---catalyze energy reactions
Calcium- mineral
-1200-1500 mg a day -needs vitamin D -not enough calcium could result in fractures and osteoporosis
Iron- mineral
-men: 8-11 mg/day -women: 15-18 mg/day -sex based difference -Menstration -Healthy red blood cells. -Anemia: not enough red blood cells
Folate- mineral
- 400 micrograms -pregnant bearing women -spinabifia in babies
Sodium- mineral
<2,400 mg -more could be harmful ---high blood pressure ---hyper tension
Functions of Water
-body temp regulation -transportation of nutrients and wastes -joint lubrication - maintenance of blood volume -you lose 64-80 oz of water each day -dont wait until you are thirsty to drink -Hyponatremia: low blood levels of sodium ----long duration exercise in hot temperature
My plate vs/ Harvards eating plate
my plate: dairy, protein, grains harvards: oils, water, exercise, healthy protein, whole grains
Understandingfood labels
Start at serving size and go down to the foot notes
Fist
-1 cup - rice, pasta, fruit, veggies
Palm
- 3 ounces - meat fish poultry
Handful
-1 ounce -nuts and raisins
2 handfuls
-1 ounce - chips, popcorn, pretzels
thumb
1 ounce or 1 tbsp -peanut butter and hard cheese
thumb up
1 teaspoon - cooking oil, mayo, butter, and sugar
Be wary of TF's. PHO's, HFCS and C2H6O
-eliminate trans fat -high fructose corn syrup --- zero nutritional value - alcohol --- 7 cal/ g ---other calories consumed
Eating Healthy on a budget
-plan ahead and cook -dont eat out -shop around the perimeter of the grocery store -choose quality over quantity -bulk food bins -frozen fruits and veggies - generic or store brands -shop around
Skill related fitness
Fitness components important for success in skillful activities and athletic events --agility, balance, coordination, speed, reaction time, power
Physical activity vs exercise
Physical Activity -Bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle that requires energy expenditure and produces progressive health benefits --walking to school or work --taking the stairs --Gardening --Doing Household chores --dancing --washing the car
Physical Activity vs EXERCISE
Exercise- going to the gym -a type of physical activity that requires planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movements with the intent of improving or maintaining one or more components of physical fitness ---running ---cycling ---weight lifting ---yoga ****anything that is exer…
Exercise bioenergetics
-The food energy we consume (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) must be converted into biologically usable energy -What is the only source of energy for our cells? --Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) --Energy is stored in chemical bonds -Energy is released when the bond is broken -without …
The replenishment of ATP is accomplished by three energy systems
1. Phosphagen (ATP-CP) -Rapid but not a lot of ATP -0-6 seconds very intense 2. Glycolysis (anaerobic) -without oxygen -30seconds-2minutes heavy 3. Oxidative (aerobic) -generate a lor of ATP but not very quickly -EX: running ***we never only use one
Benefits of aerobic training
-body becomes more efficient: --increased vo2 max --increased O2 carrying capacity of the blood --decrease in resting HR --increase of cardiac muscle strength --Lower HR at a given workload --increase in number and size of mitochondria --Faster recovery time -WEight management: -…
Benefits of aerobic training cont..
-improved body composition (decreased body fat) -improved bone density - decreased risk of diabetes and some cancer (breast and colorectal) -improved immune function -improved psychological and emotional wellness -improved concentration
Decreased risk of CVD
aerobic exercise -slows/stops plaque growth- afasclorosis -lowers total cholesterol -lowers LDL raises HDL -decreased blood pressure -reduces inflammation reduces obesity and stress -improves insulin sensitivity
Progressive Overload
for a training adaption to occur, a physiological system must be exercise at a level beyond that which it is presently accustomed. -Do more get better
Specificity
physiological system will adapt according to the training stress --train the way you want to get better
Periodization
varying the volume and intensity of your workouts in order to maintain the best results --used for athletes
FIIT Principle
FREQUENCY: how many days a week INTENSITY: how hard TIME: how long TYPE: of exercise
FIIT for general health and fitness
F: 4-5 days a week I: 50-85% HRR T:30-60 minutes T: aerobic, repetitive, large muscles
Gauging Intensity (4 ways)
1**. Heart rate --monitors --manually --on equipment 2. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) -6-20 BORG scale -1-10 3. Talk Test 4. Metabolic Equivalents (MET's) -1 MET = oxygen consumption 3.5 ml O2/kg/min
Determining HR training zone
1. estimate max HR 220-age 2. Determine your resting HR 3. Calculate your HRR ----Max HR - Rest HR 4. select intensity zone 50-85% 5. HRR * .50 + rest HR HRR * .85 + rest HR
Benefits of strength training
Enhances health -maintain/increase lean body tissue -increase metabolism -strengthen bones -improve posture -increase self esteem -improve functional independence with age -improved balance and mobility
Muscle mass and metabolism
The amount of muscle mass you have contributes to your resting metabolic rate ---55-75% of daily calorie expenditure ---1 lb increase in muscle mass 7-35 calories/day increase in RMR HYPERTROPHY: increase size of muscle fibers
FIIT resistance training
F: 2-3 days/week I: 3 sets/ exercise 8-12 reps to volitional fatigue T: 30-60 minutes total, 45-90 seconds between sets T: all major muscle groups
Flexibility
the ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion
Strentching
moving the joints beyond the accustomed range of motion
FIIT for flexibility development
F: 4-7 days/ week I: stretch to the point of muscular tension but no pain T: 3-5 repetitions of each stretch for 10-30 seconds each T: Static of PNE stretches for all major muscle groups
