What you will learn in this webinar...
We will focus on how body composition and nutrition can impact metabolism as well as how lifestyle changes such as sleep, meal frequency, caloric restriction, and alcohol consumption influence resting metabolism. Time of the season for competitive athletes, type of training and competition, brown adipose tissue, and calculations regarding metabolism and metabolic rate will also be discussed.
Metabolism fundamentals
- Thermal effect of food (TEF)
- Non-exercise thermogenesis (NEAT)
- Exercise thermogenesis (EAT)
- Resting/basal metabolic rate (BMR/RMR)
• Body composition and metabolism links
- Body water variability, creatine, and glycogen
- Fat-Free mass changes
- Brown adipose tissue
Nutrition and Lifestyle metabolism factors
- Meal frequency
- Caloric restriction
- Diet composition (Carbohydrates, protein, fat)
- Sleep
- Type of exercise
- Time during a competitive season
• Calculating and measuring metabolic rate
