Q

Resting Energy Expenditure (REE)

A

The amount of energy, usually expressed in Kcal, required for a 24 hour period by the body during rest

21
Q

What can Indirect calorimetry and use of a metabolic cart can help individuals to do

A
  • Determine energy requirements and response to nutrition
  • To calculate energy expenditure
  • Who are classified as obese
  • Calculation of REE
22
Q

What are the potential difficulties affecting validity and reliability using indirect calorimetry via a metabolic cart

A
  • Inaccuracies from air leaks
  • Possible inaccuracies from measurements
  • Difficult to use on children
  • Overfeeding or underfeeding may occur
  • Singe snapshots are worse than average results over a longer period of time
  • The process actually measures consumption, not needs
23
Q

Computer software

A

Computer software is any set of machine-readable instructions which direct a computer’s processor to perform specific operations

24
Q

Computer hardware

A

Computer hardware is the physical components of computers

25
Q

‘G’ forces

A

Forces acting on the body as a result of acceleration or gravity e.g. G-load/force of an American football ‘hit’ on an opponent
