HES 105 Midterm 2 Flashcards
Describe direct calorimetry. What does it measure and it is easy or complex to use.
Provides direct measure of energy transfer in joules or kcal. Very difficult.
Describe indirect calorimetry (AKA respirometry) is it easy or complex to use.
Measures both the rate of O2 consumption and the rate of CO2 production.
What is the percentage of inspired O2 from the earth
20.93%
What is the percentage of inspired CO2 from the earth
0.04%
What are the 5 steps of getting O2 out of the air and into the mitochondria
Ventilation, gas exchange(diffusion in blood) , gas transport (through circulation) , metabolism, mitochondria
How much O2 do we consume. (at rest and per day)
At rest, 250mL/ min and 500 L O2 per day.
V02 is influenced by the type of activity. Does O2 cost go up or down when larger muscles are recruited
O2 costs go up. They go up the most with whole body, then lower body, then upper body.
What systems does Vo2 reflect?
respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic system plus nervous system and endocrine system.
What is Vo2
The difference between the amount of O2 that enters your body and the amount of O2 that leaves your body every minute.
What is VCO2
The difference between the amount of CO2 that leaves your body and the amount of CO2 that enters your body every minute.
What is Absolute VO2
Total amount of O2 consumed over time. Reported in mL/ min or L/ min. Good for determining total energy costs of activities that are NOT weight bearing.
What is relative VO2
Takes body mass into account. More appropriate for determining energy costs of activities that require moving ones own body weight. More appropriate for comparing people of different sizes.
What are the six exercise categories?
Static resistance, dymanic resistance, very short term high intensity training, short term light to moderate, long term moderat to heavy, incrememntal exercise to max
Is static resistance your aerobic or anaerobic system. What is the duration of it and what is an example of a static exercise
Static is your anaerobic system. Under OR 10 minutes. Wall sit.
Is dynamic resistance your aerobic or anaerobic system. What is an example
Anaerobic system. Push ups or bicep curls.
Is very short term high intensity training your aerobic or anaerobic system. How long is it for and what is an example
Anaerobic system. Under 3 mins and example is sprinting to the bus
Is very short term light to moderate your anaerobic or aerobic system, give an example, and how long does it last for
aerobic system. 3-15 mins and 15 minute walk across campus
Is long term moderate to heavy your anaerobic or aerobic system. What is the time frame and provide an example
Aerobic system. 15 min- 4 hours. Uphill hike with backpack.
Is incremental test to max anaerobic or aerobic. What is the time frame and provide an example.
Aerobic, 5-20 min. VO2 max test.
During static resistance, when does VO2 max mostly increase
VO2 mainly increases afterwards.
During dynamic resistance, when does VO2 increase
Increases during and after
During very short term high intensity when does VO2 increase
Increases during exercise and significantly elevated for longer recovery
During short term light to moderate exercise, when does VO2 increase
initial rise then plateau at appropriate steady state
during long term moderate to heavy, when does VO2 increase
initial rise, plateau at appropriate steady state then positive drift
