NST 10 Midterm 3 Exam Questions and
Answers
basal metabolism - ANSWER-minimum amount of energy in a fasting state; resting
metabolism
affected by physical activity, thermic effect of food, adaptive thermogenesis
4 types of energy expenditure - ANSWER-physical activity, thermic effect of food,
adaptive thermogenesis, basal metabolic rate
good experiments - ANSWER-quantifiable data, a proper experimental group, a
control group
3 types of nutritional studies - ANSWER-observational, human experiments,
laboratory animal experiments
uncontrollable body weight factors - ANSWER-genetics, environments,
diseases/disorders
3 components of sound weight loss - ANSWER-control of energy intake, regular
physical activity, control of problematic behaviors
strategies: self-monitoring, chain-breaking behavior, stimulus control, cognitive
reconstructing, contingency planning
anorexia nervosa - ANSWER-extremely low body weight and fear of its increase,
nutrition/psychological therapies
bulimia nervosa - ANSWER-repeated binge eating followed by counteraction
(purging- vomiting, laxatives, fasting, excessive exercise)
binge eating disorder - ANSWER-repeated binge eating and no counteraction
normal vs disordered eating - ANSWER-normal- regulated by internal physiological
mechanisms balancing food intake and energy output
disordered- a variety of atypical eating behaviors, often linked to physiological or
psychological changes (social factors, emotional, interpersonal)
fitness - ANSWER-the ability to perform routine physical activity without undue
fatigue
aerobic exercise - ANSWER-includes endurance exercises that require oxygen,
strengthens heart muscle, increases stroke volume, decreases resting heart rate,
weight management
