Applied research
What instrument is used to measure output (work and power) of a person exercising?
ergometer
Other than ergometers, what other instruments are used to monitor physiological responses to exercise?
Gas analysis systems - measurements of oxygen consumption
Lactate analysis instruments - monitor blood lactate concentrations
Heart rate monitors or electrocardiographs (ECG’s) - monitor CV responses to exercise
“Amount of work performed per unit of time”
Power
“Product of force and the distance through which that force acts”
Work
What is the difference between V02 and relative V02?
V02 - amount of oxygen used by the body
Relative - amount of oxygen used by the body per kg of body mass
What is the difference between direct calorimetry and indirect calorimetry?
Direct - measure of metabolic rate via heat production
Indirect - measure of metabolic rate via V02
“Oxygen uptake at specific running speed”
What is the key word being described?
running economy
