Physical Activity and fitness
This is the amount of time being physically active that adults need per week.
What is 150 minutes?
This is the greatest number of beats per minute your heart can achieve when working its hardest.
What is Maximum Heart Rate?
Energy during first few minutes of physical activity is
provided by this.
What is anaerobic energy production?
This is what occurs when the body loses too much fluid during physical activity.
What is dehydration?
This extremely commonly consumed chemical (in athletes and non-athletes alike) can act as an ergogenic aid for longer-term endurance activities, but it is banned by the NCAA
What is caffeine?
This is the key difference between physical activity and exercise.
What is structured activity that burns calories (exercise) vs. any activity that burns calories (PA).
A gradual increase in exercise demands resulting from modifications to the frequency, intensity, time, or type of activity is referred to as this.
What is the progressive overload principle?
Anaerobic energy production occurs through these two pathways.
What are adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate?
What is amenorrhea?
This supplement may improve high-intensity, short-duration activities (like weight training) that rely on anaerobic metabolism.
What is creatine?
This is the recommended amount of time for adults engaging in high-intensity physical activity each week.
What is 75 minutes?
Watching TV or movies, playing video games, reading and driving a car are all examples of this.
What is sedentary activity?
Longer term exercise makes use of this type of energy production using these macronutrients.
What is aerobic energy production via carbs and fats.
This nutrient is used to build and repair muscles during and after exercise.
What is protein?
These types of supplements could be useful in reducing the amount of oxidative stress and damage that can occur as a result of exercise (and are commonly found in vegetables and fruit).
What are antioxidants?
This is the percentage of adults who achieve physical activity recommendations in the US.
What is 25%?
This is the definition of the FITT principle.
What is frequency, intensity, time and type?
Carbohydrate from blood glucose and stored glycogen
in muscle and liver can maintain exercise activity for about this long.
What is ~2 hours?
This is the ideal amount of carbohydrate to consume during exercise lasting more than 1 hour (such as longer runs).
What is 30-60g carbs per hour?
This mineral is particularly important in supporting oxygen transport to muscles for producing energy.
What is iron?
These are the 5 pillars of fitness.
What are cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition?
This is the maximum volume of oxygen (ml) a person uses in one minute per kilogram of body weight.
What is VO2max?
This range of percentage of maximal heart rate represents the 'fat burning zone.'
What is 65-73% of HRmax?
Vitamins, and particularly these vitamins, play a key role in what type of metabolism in support of physical activity?
What are B vitamins/energy metabolism?
This hormone travels to the bone marrow and stimulates the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to tissues, and it is used in 'blood doping' schemes.
What is erythropoietin?
