Energy Systems Flashcards
What 3 things comprise a subjects TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Thermic Effect of Feeding (TEF)
Thermic Effect of Activity (TEA)
What are the total calories you burn within a 24 hour period
Total daily energy expenditure TDEE
What are calories you burn at rest?
Resting Metabolic Rate RMR
What are calories you burn while eating (digestion)
Thermic Effect of Feeding TEF
What are calories you burn while exercising?
Thermic Effect of Exercise TEE
What percentage of RMR makes up a subjects TDEE
60-75%
What percentage of TEF makes up a subjects TDEE
10%
What percentage of TEE makes up a subjects TDEE
15-30%
How can a person increase their RMR?
by increasing muscle mass
How can a person increase their TEF?
Eating 6 smaller meals each day
How can a person increase their TEE?
Increasing exercise time/intensity
What is equal to the basal metabolic rate or resting oxygen consumption, and represents how much oxygen we have to use to burn calories?
MET
What measures the amount of heat produced?
Direct calorimetry
What measures oxygen consumption?
Indirect calorimetry
For every 1 liter of oxygen O2 we consume, we burn
5 calories
What does RQ stand for?
Respiratory Quotient
What does RQ represent?
Co2produced/O2 consumed
When is the RQ measured?
measured at rest
What is the significance of the RQ to the clinician?
Helps them approximate the macronutrient mixture catabolized for energy during rest and aerobic exercise
