Lab Exam 1- Lab 1 Flashcards
absolute terms
actual measured values with units
cellular work
active transport
chemical work
involved in ATP biosynthesis
constant work rate test
work rate remains fixed throughout the test
cycle ergometer permits accurate measurement of
work (J) and power (W)
define power
the rate of work done
define work
the transfer of energy
what is the difference between kg and kgm/kpm
kg is a unit of mass
kgm or kpm is a unit of WORK
equation to calculate work
work= force * distance
examples of absolute intensities
100 W
10 MPH
exercise intensity can be expressed in
absolute and relative terms
exercise intensity is often expressed as
a % VO2 max (or relative aerobic)
graded exercise test
the work rate changes during the test and is often the IV
how do humans perform work
transform chemical energy from food
how can you convert kgm to kpm to J
multiply by gravity (9.81)
how do you quantify mechanical work
the product of the force applied on an object and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force while the force is applied
how else can energy be measured
calories
how else can power be expressed
kcal per minute
kgmmin-1
kpmmin-1
how else is work measured
Nm
kgm
kpm
how is resistance set on ergometer
by loosening or tightening the belt
how to calculate power
power=work/time
how to calculate work on a treadmill
multiply the vertical distance by the force on the treadmill (or the subjects body weight * gravity)
in this lab what are we quantifying
mechanical work
