Basic Physiology
1.) The most accurate form of measurement for long-term health and weight-management is (check one):
- Pounds on the scale
- Body Mass Index (BMR)
- Body Composition (lean mass vs. body-fat)
2.) The word “calorie” relates to:
- Combustion (to produce energy)
- Fat on your body
- Carbohydrate
3.) Make the following conversions:
4.) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the:
- Minimum amount of calories required for vital bodily functions during a relaxed, reclined and waking state
- Amount of calories required to heat a one (1) cup of water one (1) degree Celsius in one (1) minute
- Amount of energy used during an intense workout
5.) The most healthy way to decrease body-fat is:
- Drop your caloric intake below 800 calories per day
- Through a slight negative energy balance where the caloric expenditure slightly exceeds the caloric intake
- Liposuction
6.) The body’s first choice for fuel is:
- Stored fat
- Stored glycogen
- Stored protein
7.) The body can convert fat into glucose to feed its nervous system and metabolism:
- True
- False
8.) The body can convert protein into glucose to feed its nervous system and metabolism:
- True
- False
9.) When caloric intake goes below BMR, as in commercial weight-loss programs, the body will:
- Perceive starvation and create a “survival” metabolism
- Burn muscle to fuel its energy requirements
- Slow down metabolism to reduce energy requirements
- Store even more body-fat to fend off the perceived threat of starvation
- All of the above
