Lab Exam 1- Lab 2 Flashcards
1 MET =
3.5 mL/kg/min
1 L O2 = ___ kcal
5 kcal
aerobic metabolism uses what 3 substrates and for what
carbs, proteins, and fats for ATP production
all energy transformations that occur in the human body:
cellular
chemical
mechanical
anabolic reactions
require energy input
associated energy cost of TEF on TDEE
10%
ATP is made of
cell work + heat
BMR accounts for what % of TDEE
60-70%
BMR is responsible for
energy utilized to sustain all cellular, chemical, and mechanical work at rest
calorie
the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree celcius
catabolic reactions
yield energy
direct calorimetry
quantifies the heat produced by a resting or exercising animal
direct calorimetry measures
heat loss
do we need to measure O2 and CO2 fractions in inspired air
no always constant
during exercise is all or some of heat generated going towards work
only part of energy transformed by metabolic pathways directly does work
EAT
exercise activity thermogenesis
accounts for EE
associated with sport specific exercising
energy balance occurs when
energy intake = energy expenditure
* however this is a static equation because humans are dynamic
energy lost
the portion of energy released that does not contribute towards work (heat)
allows us to calculate mechanical efficiency
expressing a gas volume in STPD makes it possible to compare and evaluate VO2 values calculated at
different altitudes, temperature, and humidity
FiCO2
0.0003
FiO2
0.2093
gross efficiency varies with
work rate
cadence
fiber type
contraction type
Gross Mechanical Efficiency (ME)
ratio of mechanical power (mechanical work rate) to metabolic power
how are we measuring energy expenditure in this lab
by measuring VO2
how do you measure expired and inspired O2
douglas bag technique
how does a calorimeter work
a subject is placed in a chamber surrounded by an insulated water jacket
thermometers in the water jacket measure temp change in the water
using heat of water and mass of water,, the heat loss (C) from the subject to the walls of the chamber is calculated
how does douglas bag technique work
a subject breathes through a mouthpiece attached to two way valve (Daniel’s Valve) that allows entry of atmospheric air to be inspired and removes expired air through the other side
volume of air expired (Ve) is collected into plastic Douglas bags and analyzed for concentrations of fractional expired O2 (FeO2) and CO2 (FeCO2) via gas anyalysis machines (PARVO)
how is metabolic rate measured
via direct or indirect calorimetry
how is Ve measured
via a volumeter
how many kcal per LO2 for combustion of fat
4.851 kcal*LO2-1
how many kcal per LO2 for combustion of protein
4.5 kcal*LO2-1
how many kcal yielded per LO2 for carbs
5.189 kcal*LO2-1
how many kcal yielded per LO2 in combustion of a mixed diet
4.98 kcal*LO2-1
how many kcal yielded per LO2 in combustion of a starving individual
4.851 kcal*LO2-1
