Exercise Physiology Flashcards
1 MET =
3.5 mL O2/kg/min
3 assumptions that must be met if you are using METS to prescribe exercise?
exercise primarily uses aerobic pathway
exercise is performed at a steady state (not incremental)
pt/subject is performing activity w/ biomechanical efficiency
metabolic equivalent of < 3
low intensity
metabolic equivalent of 3-6
moderate intensity
metabolic equivalent of >6
high intensity
walking slowly around home/office or standing with light work (household activities) - MET level?
2-2.5
walking 3mph. MET level?
3
bicycling on flat ground, 10-12 mph. MET level?
6
walking briskly or 4.5mph. MET level?
6.3
jogging 5 mph. MET level?
8
running 7 mph. MET level?
11.5
what are the primary (specific systems) used for aerobic activity?
oxidative phosphorylation & ETC systems
HR is _____ associated with workload during moderate intensity exercise.
linearly
low intensity exercises are fueled by…
free fatty acids and triglycerides
moderate intensity exercises are fueled by…
glucose and glycogen first
then FFA & triglycerides
