60min 150min/wk 150min/wk
4. *________ ________: energy used to adjust to changing physical and biological environmental situations (emotional/physical trauma, extreme cold, dramatic change in kcal intake); Not calculated into average energy requirements
Adaptive Thermogenesis
When obtaining a health history, the nurse knows that it is most important to assess the patient's use of herbs to: 1. evaluate the effectiveness of the products. 2. teach the patient about the safe use of herbs. 3. determine the risk for drug-herb interactions. 4. confirm the patient's desire for more holistic health care.
Answer = 3
____ _______ _____ (BMR): rate of energy expenditure for these activities Rate may vary from person to person Slowest when sleeping or at rest Usually measured after a restful sleep and overnight fast
Basal Metabolic Rate
1._____ _______: amount of energy required to maintain life sustaining activities Maintain body temperature Keep lungs inhaling/exhaling Bone marrow making RBCs Heart beating
Basal Metabolism
__________: long history of enabling intense physical activity; carb loading prior to athletic events is common (first studies done in 1939)
Carbohydrates
Biophysical Developmental Theories Gesell's Theory Growth pattern is unique Sequential cephaloucaudal and proximodistal Adequate nutrition and absence of disease affect it
Cephalocaudal pattern describes the sequence in which growth is fastest at the top (head then down); proximodistal growth starts at the center of the body and moves toward the extremities.
_______ ____: drugs and/or diets that are thought to increase athletic performance (not always research based)
Ergogenic aids
Three major components of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: 1. _______: moving muscles to full extent without injury (stretching, yoga) 2. ______ strength: ability of muscles to preform hard or prolonged work (lifting weights, carrying a child) 3. Cardiovascular ______: ability of the body to take in, deliver, and use oxygen for physical work (best physiologic index of total body endurance) (running, brisk walking, swimming)
Flexibility Muscular Endurance
2. Physical Activity: body movement by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure Most variable of the three components Depends on three factors: 1. ______ _____: larger muscle mass requires more energy 2. ____ weight: a heavier person uses more energy than a lighter person 3. _____: duration, frequency, and intensity
Muscle mass Body Activity
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
Piaget concerned how the mind works rather than with what it does.
_____ ______ __________ (REE) Fewer restrictions on recent food intake and physical activity
Resting Energy Expenditure
3. ______ ______ ___ _____ (TEF): energy needed to support the increase in cellular activity due to digestion, absorption, metabolism and storage; also called diet-induced thermogenesis
Thermic Effect of Food
Sports drinks can be useful during ______ events (60-90 minutes or longer)
endurance
Water is the _______ ingredient (*thirst lags behinds the body's need for water)
essential
Protein: ____ protein snacks after a workout can help with _____ repair and _______; however, large amounts of excess protein will be stored as ___

Older adults with chronic illness: avoid ______; focus on balance to help prevent falls; incorporate social aspect if possible Pregnant women: Most who are healthy during pregnancy can follow adult guidelines. This is a high risk time for patterns of _______ or ______. Physical disabilities: activities may need to be adapted, but activity is still a priority at whatever level the client is capable Diabetics or hypertensive patients: need to learn to carefully ____-______ during exercise; may need to adjust insulin or meds
inactivity overweight; obesity self-monitor
Gender -Women tend to have _____ BMR due to less lean tissue mass Growth -Children, adolescents, and pregnant women have _______ BMR Age -Lean body mass diminishes; physical activity is usually decreased Physical Activity -Physical activity tied to gender and other factors Body composition and size -BMR is high in tall people and those who weigh more
lower increased
Vitamins and Supplements: remember the _______ ________ curve; more is not always better
normal distribution curve
Fat: need a certain amount of fat for optimal _______; less than 35% of total diet is ideal
