Study Notes
Oxygen Utilization and Nutrition for Physical Activity
- Oxygen utilization during intense exercise is an indicator of aerobic endurance.
- It is the gold standard for cardiorespiratory fitness and is influenced by genetics and training.
- Respiratory quotient (RQ) measures the volume of CO2 released/volume of O2 absorbed at the cellular level and in blood samples.
- RER measures the volume of CO2 released/volume of O2 absorbed through the mouth/nose.
- Different macronutrients have specific respiratory quotients: FAT (0.7), PROTEIN (0.8-0.9), CARBOHYDRATES (1.0).
- Exercise and nutrition needs depend on duration, intensity, and frequency, and various vitamins and minerals play essential roles in energy metabolism.
- Thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, and vitamin D are crucial for physical activity.
- Water is essential for eliminating heat, transporting O2 and nutrients, and preventing dehydration.
- Iron is important for hemoglobin production, and its regulation involves absorption, release, and storage in the body.
- Iron regulation includes factors like hepcidin, transferrin, ferroportin, and ferritin for maintaining optimal levels.
- Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, while iron toxicity can occur in conditions like hemochromatosis.
- Nutrition and pregnancy involve a series of developmental stages, from fertilization to fetal development, with specific milestones for each stage.
