Lab quiz #6 Flashcards
all metabolic processes =
heat production
process of measuring metabolic rate by directly measuring heat production
- limited practical applications
- timely, costly, complicated
direct calorimetry
calories calculated with exercise equipment in fitness facilities
METs – intensity/resistance
estimated metabolic equations based on _
- 3.5 ml O2/Kg/min
0r
- 1 Kcal/Kg/hour
- specific activities have estimated caloric equivalents
- compendium of PA
MET
if you want to (truly) measure caloric expenditure, you must obtain you _
- limited practical applications
O2 consumption
_ do not account for:
- body mass/adiposity (composition)
- sex
- age
- efficiency of movement (economy)
- geographical location (altitude)
- environmental conditions (Ex: smoke)
- individual differences (fitness level)
MET estimates
based on measuring an exerciser’s O2 uptake
- energy-releasing reactions depend on oxygen use
indirect calorimetry
indirect calorimetry:
- assumed that oxygen consumed is related to the amount of heat produced in the body during _
- we will be measuring caloric expenditure using _ and _
- exercise
- O2 consumption, heart rate
indirect calorimetry:
- if we know Vo2, we can calculate _
- an oxygen uptake of 1 L*min-1 is approximately _
- caloric expenditure
- 5 Kcal*L-1
