KINESLGY 421 Study Guide - Intramuscular Fat, Calorimetry, High High
Document Summary
Metabolism- the breakdown of food to create energy (atp) Atp- high energy phosphate; universal fuel: 5 carbon sugar, amino acid, phosphate. Resting metabolic rate- energy expended at rest; calories needed per day to be healthy. Basal metabolic rate- minimum energy expended to sustain life and support vital organs. Calculates moles of co2 over moles of o2. Measures amount of co2 produced over o2 produced. Indirect calorimetry- measuring gas exchange of co2 and o2: rer of 1. 0= breaking down glucose for energy, rer of 0. 7= breaking down fat for energy. ** athlete"s paradox- athletes and extremely obese people have imtgs, but it is a good thing for athletes and a bad thing for obese people. Monosaccharides- simple sugars, building blocks to all carbs. Average individual: 55- 60% of total caloric intake. Active individual: 60-70% of total caloric intake. 30g of fiber a day (fiber is a plant polysaccharide) Glycogenesis- formation of glycogen from glucose molecules (in muscle and liver)
