Cards

Term
Health: Absence of Disease
Definition

- Nutrition

-Lifestyle

-Physical Activity

 

Term
Fitness
Definition

Ability to perform moderate intensity physical activity without undue fatigue

 

-Nutrition

-Lifestyle

-Exercise

 

Cardiovasuclar and muscular cellular

Term
Cardiovascular Fitness
Definition

Fitness of 

-heart and lungs

-Aerobic (requires oxygen)

XC skining, running, cycling, swimming, etc

 

Components

-VO2max

-Locate Threshold 

Term

Maximal Oxygen Consumption

VO2 max

Definition

Maximum amount of oxygen that can be consumed per unit of time

-size of your engine

-Increase the higher = longer the aerobic state

Values

-Low: 30-50 o2/Kg/min

 

Not very trainable (if you are already fit)

 

 

 

Term

Lactate Threshold (LT)

 

Definition

 

  • Anareobic Threshold (AT)
  • Ventilatory Threshold (VT)
  • Onset of blood lactate accumulation
  • Maximal stead state of exercise intensity
  • Very trainable

 

Term
Values for Lactate Threshold
Definition

  • Values

- Low= LT @ 60% VO2max

-Medium= LT @ 60-85%

-High= LT @ 85-95% VO2max

Term
Musculoskeltal Fitness
Definition

-Fitness of muscle and bones

-Anaerobic (cannot meet energy needs through oxygen)

- Weights, resistance, training, plyometrics

-Sprinting, jumping

 

-Components

-Muscular Strength

-Muscular Power

Term
Muscular Strenght
Definition

-Ability of a muscle to produce max strenth 

-Strength= distance x force (weight)

-High weight, low repetitions

-85-100% max (1-5 RM)

- 1-5 repetitions x 1-3 sets

Term
Muscular Power
Definition

-Ability of a muscle to produce maximal force in a short period of time

- Power= work / time

 

-Low weight, low repetitions

- Plyometrics

-Explosive Jumping

-Sprinting

 

Term
Specificity Principle
Definition

-Specific training= specific adaptions

-Mode, intensity, duration

 

-Examples

-MODE: Swimming vs running

-Intensity: duration or stength vs endurance

-Dirt vs. pavement running

- time of day

Term
Overload Principle
Definition

Greater than normal stress on the body is required for training

 

Examples

-Strength gains

-LT improvement

Term
Hypertrophy vs. Atrophy?
Definition
Term
Periodization Principle
Definition

-Varying training intensity and volume for optimizing fitness goains

 

-Must be PROGRESSIVE

 

-Must include RECOVERY

Term
What are the periodization cycles?
Definition

1.) Base: General Preparation

2.) Build: Specific Preparation

3.) Competition: Race

4.) Transition: Recovery

Term
Reversibility Principle
Definition

Rapid loss or reversibility of fitness once training stops

 

-Detraining

 

-Cardiovascular vs. musculoskeletal fitness (need 3-4x a week for cardio and 1-2 for musculoskeltal)

Term
What is the difference between health and fitness?
Definition
Term
What is Cardiovascular Fitness
Definition
- VO2max lactate threshold
Term

What is Musculoskeletal fitness?

 

Definition

Strength and power

must do 1-2 a week to keep up

Term
What are the training principles?
Definition

 

  • Specificity: specific training =specific adaptation (mode, intensity, duration) ex. swimming vs. running
  • Overload: greater than normal stress on the body is required for training. Muscle size vs shrinkage
  • Periodization: varying training intensity and volume for optimizing fitness gains
  • Reversibility: rapid loss or reversibility of fitness, once training stops

 

Term
What is exercise presription?
Definition

In general cardiovascular fitness you want to use large muscle

 

Mode:

Intensity:

Frequency:

Duration:

 

Term
ATP/ CP
Definition

  • Anaerobic
  • Intensity: Maximal
  • Duration: 2-10 sex
Advantage: Immediate
Disadvantage: Brief, VERY BRIEF

Term
What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic?
Definition
Term
Anaerobic GLycolysis (CHO)
Definition

  • Anaerobic
  • Intensity: High
  • Duration: 30sec to 2 min
Advantage- Fastest way to replenish ATP/ CP stores

Disadvantage- Inefficient and fatigue

Term
Aerobic Glycolysis (CHO)
Definition

  • Aerobic
  • Intensity: low- moderate
  • Duration: 2 min to 2 hrs (depending on how much glycogen)
Advantage
-Efficient (if oxygen present)
Disadvantage
-Less fast

Term
Lipolysis (fat)
Definition

  • Aerobic
  • Intensity: low
  • Duration: 30 min
Advantage: Unlimited supply
Disadvantage: slow

Term
Gluconeogenesis (protein or other)
Definition

  • Aerobic
  • Intensity: low
  • Minor fuel source
Advantage
-it will get you home
Disadvantage
-
- Destroys lean muscle tisue

Term
THe importance of CHO
Definition

1.) Necessary for high- intensity 

-Anaerobic Glycolysis

2.) Necessary for fat metabolism

-Need CHO to "burn" fat

3.) Lack of CHO=fatigue

-depleted liver and muscle glycogen stores

Term
Factors affecting lipolysis
Definition

-Cardiovascular, fitness level, endurance

 

 

Term
Lipolysis Exercise duration and Exercise Intensity
Definition

  • Excercise duration (CHO availability) greater than 30 min
  • Exercise Intensity- oxygen availability less than 50% VO2max

Term
What is VO2 Max?
Definition

Max amount of oxygen that can be consumed per unit of time.

-Increase the higher--> longer aerobic state

-"size of your engine"

-not very trainable

 

Term
What is the Farm Bill?
Definition

- $300 billion over next 5 years (60 billion/yr)

-Crop support, food stamps, school lunches

 

  • Benefits: Food stamps, WIC, food safety programs. Crop Insurance (weather, pests, market price
  • Criticism: 
1) Selective: only to those comodity crops: corn, cotton, wheat, soy and rice (84%)
2.) Incentivized overproduction: Results in loss in number who farm. Less than 2% of people in US are growing food for 98% of population, larger farmers

Term
What are economies of scale?
Definition
The decrease in unit cost of a product resulting from large-scale operations, as in mass production
Term
What is the true cost of food?
Definition

1) Pay at the supermarket

2) pay taxes for govt farm subsidies

3) Pay taxes for environment clean-up and health care cost associated with industrial food production

Term
What is the organic standards?
Definition

1. No synthetic fertilizers

2. No synthetic pesticides or herbicides

3. no antibiotics

4. no growth hormones

5. no GMOs

Term

What percentage of US oil consumption is used to grow transport and store food?

 

Definition

10-15%

Average food distance is 1500 miles

Avg 10 kcal fossil= 1 kcal of food
