Chap. 5- Energy Expenditure Flashcards
What percentage of food eaten will increase HEAT in the body?
60%
What percent of substrate is used for ENERGY?
40%
What increases with energy production?
Heat
What is a Calorimeter?
Measures temperature change during a certain time period.
What is an example of a Calorimeter?
Water in wall, goes in cold, comes out warm, measures body temp increase, also measures air.
Pros of a Calorimeter?
Accurate over time, good for metabolic measurements.
Cons of a Calorimeter?
Expensive, slow, heat added by exercise equipment, errors by sweat, not practical for exercise.
What does Indirect calorimetry measure?
Estimates TDEE based in O2 uses and CO2 produced; measure gas concentrations.
Cons of Indirect Calorimetry?
Older methods are accurate but slow, new methods are fast but expensive.
What’s sport uses Indirect calorimetry?
Swimmers
What does VO2 (DOT) mean?
The volume of O2 CONSUMED over a certain period of time, per minute.
What does the Haldane Transformation say?
O2 in may not equal CO2 out; Nitrogen in is equal to Nitrogen out.
True/False- O2 use during metabolism depends on the fuel type.
True
What is the Respiratory Exchange Ratio?
Ratio between production of Co2 and use of O2/- predicts substrate use, kcal/o2.
What are the limitations with RER(Respiratory Exchange Ratio)?
CO2 production may not equal CO2 exhalation
True/False: RER is accurate for protein oxidation?
False- inaccurate
List 6 different devices used to measure energy expenditure?
- Heart Rate Monitor
- Pedometers
- Accelerometers
- Self- Reporting
- Walking/Running
- Cycle Ergometers
What is BMR?
Rate of energy expenditure at rest
