Download or read book The Effects of Exercise Modality on Peak Fat Metabolism written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise programs are used to aid in body fat loss. The intensity and modality of exercise may influence fat metabolism during said exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if peak fat metabolism (in grams of fat per minute and in grams of fat as a percent of peak VO2) during exercise varies between three different modalities of exercise: treadmill, stationary bike and arm ergometer. METHODS: Twelve moderately active (male n=7: female n=5), apparently healthy, Oakland University students completed three graded exercises tests to peak aerobic capacity on non-consecutive days. Metabolic measurements were taken during each graded exercise test. RESULTS: Absolute peak fat metabolism was highest on the treadmill at 0.41 ± 0.12 grams of fat per minute, followed by the stationary bike at 0.29 ± 0.16 grams of fat per minute, and lastly the arm ergometer at 0.15 ± 0.09 grams of fat per minute. When looking at peak fat metabolism as a percentage of peak VO2 the exercise intensity where peak fat metabolism occurred was similar between the three exercise modes; the treadmill 44.47 ± 17.53%; arm ergometer 42.68 ± 16.19%; and stationary bike 40.94 ±14.63% peak VO2. CONCLUSION: To reach peak fat metabolism it is recommended to exercise on a treadmill 44.47 percent of individual peak VO2. If an individual is not able to exercise on a treadmill the stationary bike is the second best option for reaching peak fat metabolism. Exercising at the given intensity should be sustained for a long duration so that fat is the main energy source used during the exercise.

Download or read book Effects of Altering the Sequence of a Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Session on Energy Expenditure and Metabolism written by Megan Joy Bedbrook and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the known benefits of performing aerobic and resistance exercise independently, the metabolic effects of performing aerobic and resistance exercise in succession, remain unclear. Several studies suggest that the alteration of exercise sequence may influence carbohydrate and lipid oxidation and energy expenditure during exercise and in recovery. High intensity resistance exercise performed prior to a bout of aerobic exercise has been shown to augment fat oxidation during the subsequent bout of aerobic exercise. Changes in hormone and metabolite concentrations from prior resistance exercise could potentially influence substrate selection and energy expenditure in a subsequent bout of aerobic exercise. However, an exercise session whereby aerobic exercise is followed by a bout of resistance exercise has yet to be evaluated to determine the metabolic effects (specifically, the differences in substrate selection for energy provision) when exercise sequence is altered. It was hypothesized that when resistance exercise was performed prior to a bout of aerobic exercise, sympathetic nervous system activity would be elevated, leading to an increase in non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and glycerol concentrations and resultant increase in lipid oxidation during the aerobic portion of the exercise compared to the opposite sequence. It was also hypothesized that during recovery there would be an increased reliance on fat oxidation for energy provision with a resistance-aerobic exercise sequence compared to an aerobic-resistance exercise sequence. Additionally, the differences in metabolite concentrations and respiratory parameters between two identical bouts of aerobic exercise performed on separate days (~1 week apart) were measured and it was hypothesized that day-to-day variability would be non-significant (p>0.05).

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.
