Study Notes
Energy Balance
- Define BMI
- Differentiate between positive uses of BMI (research and population trends) and overuse of BMI (reliance as a measure of risk for an individual)
- Define the different BMI risk categories
- Compare and contrast health risks of being overweight and underweight
- Describe BMI limitations (body composition and fat distribution, including how to measure each, and which is most likely to affect men or women)
- List and describe components of energy expenditure
- Differentiate between positive and negative energy balance
Weight Control
- Calculate theoretical weight change (3500 cals = 1 pound)
- Explain when estimated energy requirement equals total energy expenditure
- Explain how adipose cells respond to weight gain/loss
- Identify cellulite as normal adipose tissue
- Define and describe leptin and ghrelin
- Explain how lipoprotein lipase impacts energy storage
- Describe the percentage of obesity explained by genetics
- Describe weight management recommendations
- Explain how HAES and intuitive eating reframe body weight discussions
Performance Nutrition
- List elements of physical fitness
- Explain physical fitness recommendations
- List benefits of physical activity
- Describe FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)
- Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
- List three metabolic pathways, and when each is utilized during activity
- Explain how intensity is measured
- Explain why fat is preferred fuel at low intensity and why focusing on this doesn't translate to weight loss
- Explain how intensity and duration affect dietary needs
- Calculate daily protein and carbohydrate needs using recommendations
- Calculate AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range) for protein and carbohydrate given total calories
- Evaluate current intake based on recommendations and AMDR requirements
- Explain why protein is important post-exercise
- List and describe nutrition concerns for athletes
- List and describe the ideal ratio of recovery carbohydrate and protein intake
