1 MET equals
3.5 ml/kg/min
power equation
power (w)= work (J) / time (sec)
work equation
work (J)= force (N) x distance (m)
Kcal*min
1 L O2 = 5kcal * L
which muscle fiber is more efficient
type 1 skeletal muscle
walking VO2 metabolic calculation
(0.1 * speed) + (1.8 * Speed * Grade) + 3.5
running VO2 metabolic calculation
(0.2speed) + (0.9 * SpeedGrade) +3.5
for running vo2 metabolic calculation, what happens if surface is flat
you dont add vertical grade to equation
Direct calorimetry measures
heat
indirect calorimetry measures
heat
CO2 production
oxygen consumption
Absolute VO2 equation
L * min
relative VO2 equation
mlkgmin
how to convert relative vo2 to absolute vo2
relative vo2(ml/kg/min) * body weight (kg) / 1000
how to convert L to mL
*1000
how to convert mL to L
divide 1000
