What 3 factors influence a person's basal metabloism?
Three factors that influence a person's basal metabolism are their age, gender, and body composition. Generally, metabolism tends to decrease with age, with men typically having a higher basal metabolic rate than women. Additionally, muscle mass typically burns more calories at rest compared to fat mass, so individuals with higher muscle mass may have a higher metabolism.
Which of these increase muscle strenght?
It would have to be leg and muscle mass that is the answer on a+
Inactive adults who don't strength train can lose how many pounds of muscle mass per year?
Without consistent strength training, muscle size and strength decline with age. An inactive person loses 1/2 pound of muscle per year after age 20. After age 60, this rate of loss doubles. But, muscle loss is not inevitable. With regular strength training, muscle mass can be preserved throughout the lifespan, and the muscle lost can be rebuilt. Source: SparkPeople.com
What sentence with the word aging?
As we age, our bodies undergo various changes, including a decrease in metabolism and muscle mass.
What happens to your your basal metabolic rate as you age?
Your basal metabolic rate typically decreases as you age due to factors such as loss of muscle mass, decreased physical activity, and hormonal changes. This can result in a slower metabolism and potentially lead to weight gain if dietary habits aren't adjusted. Regular exercise and strength training can help counteract this decline in metabolic rate.
What effect of aging on the body at age 35 and at the age 65?

What controls your metabolism?
One word "muscle". A person burns most of their calories at rest, or (Basil Metabolic rate). Up to 80% is controlled by lean muscle mass. We lose muscle as we age because of starvation diets, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and a sedintary life style. As we age, we should concentrate on replacing this lost muscle with resistance training.
The rate of matabalism is directly related to the what?
Nothing, I'm fairly sure you just invented the word 'matabalism'. assuming you meant metabolism: These are all factors which impact your metabolism -weight -how active the person is -how much of the person's mass is muscle -age -sex -diet -genes
What increases mucsle strength?
age and muscle mass
How much does age affect our metabolism?
Yes as you age your metabolism begins to slow down and you gain weight more easily. Your metabolism is affected by your age, body size, gender, and composition. As you age your body loses muscle and gains fat which slows down your body's ability to burn calories.
Is weight gain in old age purely related to decline in activity and natural muscle wastage?
