Nutrition and Physical Activity
Components of fitness:
Flexibility, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance
Benefits of exercise:
Reduces risk of every major lifestyle disease
Reduces risk of heart disease, CVA, high blood pressure, obesity, type II
diabetes, and cancer
Promotes joint mobility.
Sound fitness program (FIT): 3-5 days a week of planned activity
Intensity: proper intensity (65-85% of max HR)
Time of activity: 25-60 min.
Exercise and energy needs (macronutrient needs):
Need plenty of fluids before, after, and during exercise
Diet: high in carbohydrate (60-70%), moderate in fat (20-35%), and
adequate in protein (10-20%)
Ergogenic Aids: substances used to improve exercise and athletic performance
Many not effective, can be dangerous
Ex: anabolic steroids, testosterone, creatine
Caffeine: Most widely used stimulant in the world
No nutritional value
CNS stimulant
Heavy use can cause insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, tremors, upset
stomach, fast heart rate
Creatine: A nitrogen-containing compound that combines with phosphate to form the
high-energy compound creatine phosphate in muscles
Enhances performance during intense activity
Evidence of value has not been ascertained, many athletes take it in very large
doses, long term effects are unknown
Physical activity: any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles
Exercise: intentional physical exertion
Promotes physical fitness (ability to perform moderate to vigorous activity without undue
fatigue)
Reduces risk of diseases
Maintains healthy body weight
Physical exercise to promote health
Resistance training (strength training)
Increases muscle strength and promotes bone health
Cardio
Increases heart rate and promotes use of oxygen
Neuromotor

Incorporates balance, agility, and coordination
Flexibility
Promotes the ability to move joints through the whole span of movement
Stretching
Metabolic reactions
Enzymes: facilitators of metabolic reactions
Coenzymes: associate with enzymes
Enzymes cannot function without coenzymes
Two compounds formed along the way through carbohydrates
Pyruvate
Can be used to make glucose
Quick energy needs (anaerobic)
Pyruvate → lactate
Slow energy needs (aerobic)
Pyruvate → Acetyl CoA
Acetyl CoA
Cannot be used to make glucose
Used to make ATP
Synthesizes fat
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Released during breakdown of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids for energy
Produced by energy systems
Anaerobic (doesn’t require oxygen)
Source of energy for short bursts of highly intense exercise
Phosphate system
Creatine in the muscles is used to make more ATP
● Glycolysis
Breaks down glucose → pyruvate → lactate for glycolysis to
continue
Lactic acid (byproduct of glycolysis)
Transported to the liver where it is converted to glucose
Aerobic (requires exercise)
Source of energy for longer lower-intensity exercise
Can yield more energy for a longer time than anaerobic metabolism
Pyruvate → Acetyl CoA
ADP: important chemical in the energy production of a cell
Produced when ATP breaks down
Provides energy for muscular contraction
Chemical reactions
Catabolism: reactions in which large molecules are broken down into smaller ones
Releases energy

Causes a loss of skeletal muscle
Anabolism: the building up of body compounds
Small molecules put together to build larger ones
Requires energy
Low carbohydrate diets
Metabolism similar to fasting
Uses glycogen stores first and then gluconeogenesis when glycogen is depleted
Body tissues can even been used
Side effects: nausea, fatigue, low BP, elevated uric acid
TCA cycle: Common metabolic pathway for all macronutrients
Takes place in the mitochondria of the cell when cells need energy acetyl CoA enter
TCA cycle
Compounds lose a carbon to CO2 and releases a total of 8 electrons
Vitamins
Organic compounds that the body needs in small quantities (considered micronutrients)
Essential nutrients (must be consumed in the diet to meet the body’s needs)
Bioavailability: the degree to which nutrients can be absorbed and utilized by the body
Not a source of energy (calories)
Deficiencies occur mostly in people who cannot absorb fat normally
Difference: how they are absorbed and transported in the body
Fat-soluble Water-soluble
Deficiency unlikely Deficiency likely
Long term body storage (excess stored in
tissue)
Short term body storage (excess is
excreted)
Higher risk of toxicity Lower risk of toxicity (can acquire toxic
levels through supplements)
Less frequently needed More frequently needed
Absorbed in small intestine Absorbed through intestinal walls and
travel to cells
Antioxidants: chemicals that protect cells against damage from oxidation that produces free
radicals
Vitamins E, A (beta-carotene), C stabilize free radicals
Free radicals: highly unstable atoms
Many metabolic processes involve oxidative reactions that produce free radicals
Also produced by UV, toxic substances, pollution
Cancer: diseases characterized by cells that spontaneously reproduce
Caused by free radicals and carcinogens
Factors:
Tobacco use
Sun exposure
