Exercise appears to enhance the ability of skeletal muscles to utilize lipids (specifically
triglycerides) as opposed to glycogen for fuel
Give this one a try later!
This reduces lipid levels in the blood
Power
Give this one a try later!
The ability or rate at which one can perform work; a function of work &
time.
,Accelerometers
Give this one a try later!
measure movement based on acceleration and deceleration of the device,
and can measure activity in multiple planes.
-PA is recorded as "activity counts" which can be plugged into equations to
determine energy expenditure and METs.
If Janelle bicycled at 9 mph (a 4.0 MET activity) for 30 minutes, how many MET-min did
she bicycle?
Give this one a try later!
MET level of an activity X the number of minutes the activity is done = MET-
min
4.0 METs x 30 min = 120 MET-min
Calculating intensity
Give this one a try later!
Divide current activity level by capacity
MET of the activity / MET capacity
VO2 of the activity / VO2 max
, Muscular Endurance
Give this one a try later!
The ability of muscle to continue to perform without fatigue.
How does physical activity differ from physical fitness?
Give this one a try later!
Physical Activity = Behavior;
Physical Fitness = capacity Physical fitness is accomplished by performing
physical activity
Monitor-based measures
Give this one a try later!
-include various devices designed to objectively quantify movement
-Accelerometers, GPS units, and pedometers or devices to measure the
intensity and duration of PA (heart rate monitors etc.)
-Good balance between feasibility and validity
-Most commonly used for research and evaluation
