- - - - BAT - Brown adipose Tissue
        
        has iron containing mitochondria + several small lipid droplets; blood vessels made it look 'brown'
        
        Location: neck and shoulders
        
        role: burn calories to generate heat
        
        regulates temp without shivering
        
        referred to as 'healthy fat'
        
        needed in hibernating animals; more in younger adults/ young/ slender ppl/ normal blood sugar
    - - white adipose tissue (WAT)
        
        single lipid droplets+ fewer blood vessels and mitochondria (looks whiter)
        
        around 20% body weight in men and 25% in woman
        
        important and as many purpose
        
        major endocrine organ: produce one form of oestrogen; leptin hormone (regulate hunger and appetite)
        
        largest energy reserve
        
        insulation
        
        contains receptors for insulin, growth hormone, adrenaline and cortisol
        
        Normally the type of fat we try to accumulate: does little to burn calories in comparison to brown fat
        
        normally in overweight or obese client they have more white fat than brown
        
        location: subcutaneous and around organs (visceral fat) and increase from a surplus of calories in the diet
    - - Beige adipose tissue
        
        between white and brown: can store energy and produce heat/ burn calories
        
        location: skin near collarbone and along spine
    - - measured by skin fold callipers
      - contains: nerves and blood vessels to give skin oxygen
        
        stores energy for aerobic respiration
        
        too much subcutaneous fat can cause the skin to come stretched or tight, causing cellulite
    - - location: abdominal cavity around important organs
      - associated with risk of diabetes and heart disease
      - more accurate indicator of health than BMI
        
        researchers believe it might be a side effect of an unhealthy lifestyle
  - - - mainly exhaled as CO2, others in sweat/faeces and urine
- - - - Anaerobic
        
        'without oxygen', relies on energy stored in muscles
        
        e.g. resistance, sprints, interval training
      - Aerobic
        
        e.g. swimming, running, cycling
        
        cardio: 'air'
        
        requires oxygenated blood to be pumped by heart
        
        releases endorphin
        
        good for preventing CVD
    - - branched because got a side chain of three carbons
      - big in exercising community
