Questions with 100% Correct Answers |
Latest Update



Work - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔force x distance


Power - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔(force x distance) / time


Ergometry - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- measurement of work on a device


- Erg = work


When is quantifiable work performed? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- when walking or

running up or down a slope


Direct Calorimetry - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- measurement of heat production as

an indication of metabolism

- food + O2 --> ATP + heat


Indirect Calorimetry - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- O2 consumed

,- measures O2 used as an estimate of metabolic rate

- food + O2 --> heat + CO2 + H2O


How many kcals are in 1L of O2? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔5 kcals


Open-circuit Spirometry - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- Measures the amount of O2

used from the air (VO2)

- VO2 = vol. O2 inspired - vol. O2 expired


VO2 (L•min) vs. VO2 (ml•kg-1•min-1) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔VO2 (L•min) --> an

absolute amount of O2 used in L/min

VO2 (ml•kg-1•min-1) --> amount adjusted to body weight (relative to

individual)


How much O2 do we use at rest? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔~ .25 L/min-1 --> varies

based on body composition, & their metabolism (.20-.27)


What is resting metabolism? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1 Met = 1 metabolic

equivalent


What is normal resting value? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔VO2 = 3.5 ml•kg-1•min-1


To convert L•min-1 to kcal•min-1 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔multiply by 5.0 kcals

, To convert L•min-1 to (ml•kg-1•min-1) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔multiply by 1000

anddivide by body weight in kilograms


To convert ml•kg-1•min-1 to METs or kcal•kg-1•hr-1 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔divide

by 3.5 ml•kg-1•min-1

What is the relationship between O2 requirement and speed? - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔O2 usage ↑ in a + linear relationship as speed ↑ (m•min-1)


T/F: Walking demonstrates twice the slope as running? - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔False


- walking: VO2 ml•kg-1•min-1 = (.1 x m/min) + 3.5

- running: VO2 ml•kg-1•min-1 = (.2 x m/min) + 3.5


Net Efficiency - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔ratio of work output divided by energy

expended above rest

- % net efficiency = (work output/ energy expended above rest) x 100

What is the relationship between efficiency (energy expenditure) and work

rate? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔+curvilinear relationship


- efficiency decreases w/ increased work rate
