Document Summary
Movement: muscle is vital to movement/daily life. Most calories burned through muscle maintenance and repair. Muscle is primary user of glucose in body. More muscle=can store more glucose=less glucose in blood. Basal insulin levels inversesly related to body mass. More body mass that absorbs insulin (muscle)=less sugar in blood. Some data shows that resistance training might improve lipid profile. Resistance trainng function: maintain or gain lean tissue and increase metabolic rate. Resistance training aids in the maintenace of lean tissue during severe weight loss. May increase free living activity rsulting in greater energy expenditure. Low fitness levels of the obese populations may not allow for adequate energy expenditure. Adding resistance training helps promote bmr and increase free living activity. Osteroporosis: degenerative disease characerized by decrease in bone mineral density bmd. Adult skeleton undergoes continuous process of remodeling. Osteoclasts appear on previously inactive surface and construct tunnel in bone (bone loss)
