3. Total energy expenditure(TEE)
or total metabolic rate
= (1) the basal metabolic rate (BMR)
+ (2) the activity energy costs,
+ (3) diet-induced thermogenesis
TEE = BMR when measured
(a) in the morning
(b) 20 h after the last meal,
(c) resting, reclining,
(d) at normal body temp., and
(e) at a comfortable ambient temperature
The BMR varies according to sex, age, body size and weight.

4. • ATP is produced in the cells (except the RBCs). Usually the
mitochondria of the cell does so by burning fat and
carbohydrate into carbon dioxide and water
(metabolism)
DesigningPhysicalActivitybyNayanjeetChaudhury-
5. Sites of Energy generation/ATP
production during muscular activity
Anaerobic
Aerobic
Occurs in Mitochondria. Burns fats, carbs and amino
acids in presence of Oxygen to produce large no. of ATPs
Occurs in Cytoplasm. Breaks only glucose or glycogen
without Oxygen to produce small number of ATPs

6. Basic Exercise Physiology: Principles
Muscle fibre types
• In humans, 3 myosin isomorph fiber types I, IIA & IIB
• Type I – Slow twitch, high oxidative capacity.
• Type IIB – Fast twitch, low oxidative
• Type IIA – Intermediate
Long-term effects of training
• Resistance or endurance training, IIB IIA
• Prolonged resistance training - Hypertrophy

7. Cardiovascular adaptations to chronic exercise
• No change on Max Heart Rate(H.R.) and Resting Cardiac
Output (C.O.). Rather, Resting H.R. may lower.
• Max C.O. increases due to Increased Stroke Volume (S.V.) in
trained people
• Remember, S.V. in supine posture (swimming) is higher than in
upright position (running)
Prolonged Endurance Training - reduced systolic, diastolic, and
mean arterial pressures (therapeutically effective on mild
hypertensives only)

8. • Endurance training
• - Capacity of the oxidative
system to produce ATP by
increasing mitochondrial density
in muscle
• - Amplify the storage of energy
substrates(glycogen, lipids)
• - lipid depots more pronounced
• Resistance Training
• - Increased capacity of muscle
to produce ATP anaerobically by
increasing glycolytic enzymes &
glycogen stored in muscle

9. Major Energy Systems in the Body
• Phosphagen system
– ATP and phosphocreatine
(PCr) stored in muscle
• Non-Oxidative system
– "anaerobic“ only Carb
pathway.
– End product = lactate
• Oxidative system
– "aerobic“- lipid/carb
pathway,
– End product= CO2 + H20

11. Age and Exercise
• Resting B.P. and exercise B.P. are lower in children
• Both resting H.R. and exercise H.R. are higher in children
• C.O. at a submax oxygen consumption (V02) is lower in adults.
• Children have poor thermoregulation– high sweating threshold
• Men start losing bone mass in 50-55 yrs, women start in 30-35
yrs with increase after menopause
• Muscle strength declines by 15% per decade from 50-80yrs
and by 30% thereafter.
• Joint stiffness and loss of flexibility are common in elderly.
• Healthy older adults walk at a preferred speed that is 20%
slower than that of younger adults.
• Old age = Decreased visual acuity, hearing loss, deterioration
of short-term memory, slow processing of multiple information
& slow reaction time, gradual decrease in B.M.R.

12. Oxygen consumption and Age
• VO2 Max– a function
of C.O. and A.V.
Oxygen difference.
• Genetically limited
• May increase 5-30%
with training
• Inversely related to
body mass
• Declines by 5-15%
per decade after age

Positive Risk Factors
•Age: Men ≥45 yr; Women ≥55 yr
•Family history of Myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, or sudden death
before 55 yr of age in father or other male first-degree relative, or before 65 yr of age in
mother or other female first-degree relative
•Current cigarette smoker or those who quit within the previous 6 months
•Sedentary lifestyle :
•Obesity:
•Hypertension: SBP ≥140 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥90 mm Hg, or on antihypertensive drugs

mg·dL-1 (1.04 mmol·L-1) or on lipid-lowering drug. If total serum cholesterol only available,
use ≥200 mg·dL-1 (5.18 mmol·L-1)
•Pediabetes: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) = fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg·dL-1
(5.50 mmol·L-1) but <126 mg·dL-1 (6.93 mmol·L-1) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) =
2-hour values in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) ≥140 mg·dL-1 (7.70 mmol· L-1) but
<200 mg·dL-1 (11.00 mmol·L-1) confirmed by measurements on at least two separate
occasions
Negative Risk factor: HDL Cholesterol ≥60 mg·dL-1 (1.55 mmol·L-1). If HDL is high,
subtract one risk factor from the sum of positive risk factors.

22. Components of the Exercise Training Session
• Warm-up: Min 5 to 10 min of low- (<40% VO2R) to moderate-
(40%–<60% [VO2R) intensity cardiovascular and muscular
endurance activities
• Conditioning: 20 to 60 mins of aerobic, resistance, and/or sport
activities
• bouts of 10 minutes are Ok if one accumulates min 20-60 min/ day of daily
exercise)
• Cool-down: Min. 5 -10 mins of low- (<40% VO2R) to moderate-
(40%–<60% VO2R) intensity cardio-vascular and muscular
endurance activities
• Stretching: Min. 10 minutes of stretching exercises after warm-
up or cool-down phase
DesigningPhysicalActivitybyNayanjeetChaudhury
23. Cardiovascular endurance
• Most effective when large muscle groups are engaged in
continuous, rhythmic (aerobic) activity.
• Frequency: ACSM recommends 3-5 days/wk (most days).
– - attenuation of improvement in physical fitness with exercise
frequencies >3 d·wk-1 and a plateau beyond 5 wk
• Intensity: For minimum health benefits, moderate
intensity activity (40-60% VO2R*) that visibly
increases H.R. and breathing.
• Duration: a dose-response relationship between
calories per week health benefits
* VO2R = VO2Max – VO2rest

25. Muscular strength and endurance
• Muscular strength = the maximal amount of resistance that
a muscle can overcome.
• Muscular endurance = the ability of muscle to overcome a
submaximal resistance several times consecutively.
• Frequency: untrained should train each major muscle group
(of the chest, shoulders, upper and lower back, abdomen,
hips, and legs) 2–3 days/wk with at least 48 hours between
two sessions
• Type: multijoint or compound exercises.
– (chest press, shoulder press, pull-down, dips, lower-back extension,
abdominal crunch/curl-up, and leg press)
• Volume = Beginners 8-10 Reps, 2-4 sets

27. Some more principles
Specificity: Exercise programs are specific to the
exercise performed and to the muscles involved.
Overlaod: put a demand on muscle greater than that in
the previous workout session. Overload can be
achieved by:
– a. Increasing the resistance or weight.
– b. Increasing repetitions.
– c. Increasing sets.
– d. Decreasing the rest period between sets
Progression: an increase in workload to maintain
overload.

28. • Stretching most effective when muscles are warm.
• Should be done before and after conditioning phase.
• Stretching may not prevent injury.
• Different stretching methods- Static, dynamic or
ballistic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
(PNF), and dynamic range of motion.
• Should involve major muscle tendon groups of body.
• ≥4 repetitions per muscle group is recommended.
• Static stretches should be held for 15 to 60 seconds.
