Metabolic Calculations

Question 1

1 Liter of O2 equivalent in Kcal

Answer 1

5 Kcal

Question 2

1 lb adipose tissue in Kcal

Answer 2

3500 Kcal

Question 3

1 Kg in lbs

Answer 3

2.2 lbs

Question 4

1 mph in meters/min

Answer 4

26.8 meters/min

Question 5

Walking (1.9-3.7 mph)

Relative VO2 =

Answer 5

(speed x .1) + (speed x grade x 1.8) + 3.5
Horizontal vertical resting
^components

Question 6

Running (>5 mph or 3-5 mph if truly running)

Relative VO2 =

Answer 6

(speed x .2) + (speed x grade x .9) + 3.5

Question 7

Cycle Ergometry

Relative VO2 =

Answer 7

{[1.8 x (R x PRC x RPM)] / BW} + 7

PRC = pedal revolution circumference 
R = resistance
RPM = revolutions per second
7 = unloaded cycling + resting component

Question 8

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Answer 8

1 MET

3.5 ml O2/Kg of bodyweight/min

Question 9

Fick Equation

Answer 9

VO2 = Q x AVO2D

ml O2/min) = (L blood/min) x (ml O2/L blood

Question 10

Fick Breakdown

Answer 10

Q = SV x HR
AVO2D = CaO2 - CvO2
CaO2 = 1.34 x [Hb] x SaO2 x 10
SaO2 = %O2 saturation

Question 11

Karvonen Formula

Answer 11

THR = {(HRmax - HRrest) x % intensity} + HRrest

Question 12

Tenturi

Answer 12

3 m/rev

Question 13

Monarch

Answer 13

6 m/rev
