Chapter 5 Flashcards
What calculates energy expenditure from the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed
Indirect calorimetry
What measures the body’s heat production to estimate energy expenditure
Direct calorimetry
What is the rate of O2 and CO2 exchanged in the lungs=rate of use and release by the body tissues
Oxygen consumption (VO2)
What method is used to measure oxygen consumption (VO2)
Indirect calorimetry
What is the single best measurement of cardiorespiratory endurance and aerobic fitness
VO2 max
The higher the ________, the higher the fitness level
VO2 max
What is VO2
The volume of oxygen consumed per minute
What is VCO2
The volume of carbon dioxide produced per minute
What are the three gases that make up inspired air
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Oxygen:
Carbon dioxide:
Nitrogen:
- 93
- 04
- 03
What is a mathematical formula formula that allows us to calculate VI from VE because nitrogen concentration remain constant
The Haldane transformation
In what is the ratio between CO2 released (VCO2) and oxygen consumed (VO2)
respiratory exchange rate (RER)
RER= ____/_____
VCO2/ VO2
RER provides us data that reveals what primary ________ our body is using for energy production
Substrate
The RER value at rest is usually what
.80
RER oxidation of fat is what
.70
RER oxidation of carbohydrate is what
1.0
RMR is the minimum amount of energy required by the body to sustain basic _______ function
Cellular
Depending on the individual, RMR ranges from __________kcal/day
1100 to 2500
When activity is added, RMR’s daily caloric expenditure is __________ kcal/day or higher
1700-3100
What factors affect RMR
Age Body temperature Psychological stress Hormone Injury
