Book Regulation of Body Weight

Download or read book Regulation of Body Weight written by Claude Bouchard and published by . This book was released on 1996-06-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that about 30-40% of the adults in the Western world are overweight or obese testifies to the frequency of the disturbances in body weight regulation. Scientists have established that caloric intake, macronutrient composition of the diet, basal and resting metabolic rate, thermic response to food, energy expenditure associated with movement and physical activity, and preferential storage of the surplus of calories as fat or lean tissues are critical determinants of energy balance and body weight. While much has been learned, the field is poised for major advances with the advent of a variety of imaging techniques, progress in quantitative and molecular genetics, use of transgenic rodent models and of breeding experiments with informative inbred strains, availability of stable isotopes for metabolic and behavioral studies, and a growing number of useful experimental animal and human models. This volume takes an integrative approach to obesity. It is structured around four major topics: (1) the animal and human models currently available for the study of body weight regulation with their strengths and limitations, (2) the molecular and genetic basis of the regulation of body weight, (3) the metabolic and physiological mechanisms involved, and (4) the behavioral and social determinants. The 13 background papers provide a critical overview of the present knowledge base while the group reports summarize the extensive deliberations of 38 international experts. Particular emphasis has been given to promising research areas and on the advances needed to ensure a better understanding of the biological and behavioral mechanisms of the regulation of body weight, with a particular emphasis on overweight and obesity.

Download or read book Weight Management written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

Book The Effects of Resistance Training on Resting Metabolic Rates in Overweight Adults

Download or read book The Effects of Resistance Training on Resting Metabolic Rates in Overweight Adults written by Brian Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if resistance training (RT) aids in weight loss over time by increasing the fat free mass (FFM) and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in overweight subjects. This study included 6 sedentary, overweight male and female subjects between the ages of 19-33 years who participated in a 12-week intervention of RT or no exercise, and a 4-week post intervention of no exercise. Subjects were randomized into 1 of 2 groups: exercise ( n = 2), control (n = 4). RMR, FFM, fat mass (FM), body fat percentage (BF), bone mineral density (BMD), one repetition maximum on the leg and chest press, waist circumference, height, and weight were all measured before the intervention (time 1), after the intervention (time 2), and after the post intervention (time 3). Oxygen consumption was measured through open-circuit spirometry to determine RMR. FFM was measured on a GE Lunar iDXA bone density scanner. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post hoc tests was conducted to determine significant differences between groups over time analysis. Effect size (d) calculations determined the magnitude of change. The exercise group showed no significant changes, whereas the control group indicated significant increases in FFM between times 1 and 2 (p = .006), and between times 1 and 3 (p = .001). The data from this study indicate that RT does not significantly increase RMR. However, the ES revealed a large change from time 1 to time 2 in RMR (d = .87) and a small change in FFM (d = .10) in the exercise group; whereas the control group had small changes in both RMR (d = .26) and FFM ( d = .36). The d suggests that RT may increase RMR without increasing FFM.
