August Krogh
Developed the function of capillary circulation as a gas analysis system
A.V. Hill (F)
Credited to be the “father of exercise physiology”
A.V. Hill
Awarded Nobel prize in 1922 for measuring oxygen intake both resting and exercise
True or False You automatically begin using the amount of oxygen needed from rest to exercise?
False
Who developed the Harvard fatigue lab?
Bruce Dill
Who studied the effects of exercising in high heat?
Bruce Dill
Who is know for endurance performance training?
David Costill
David Costill
Oversaw the human performance lab
Threshold
The moment something begins to increase
A study about one individual
Case study
Case controlled study
When one group has a disease and the other does not
Cross sectional
Study looking at one specific moment in time
Calorimetry
The process of measuring heat/energy/calories by measuring the bonds that are broken
Calorimetry
Used to measure the amount of energy needed to change the temporary water by 1 degree Celsius
What does direct Calorimetry measure?
Amount of heat produced by a person
Indirect Calorimetry
The oxygen consumption to indirectly measure the heat production
How much oxygen is in room air? CO2?
20.93%
.03%
What is a typical energy expenditure range f VO2?
3.5-70ml/kg/min
What is the typical energy expenditure range of VO2 in METs?
1-20
How much oxygen is required at all times?
3.5ml/kg/min
True or False?
In order for something to be considered linear, the rate has to be constant
True
How energy efficient are humans
20-25%
When don’t you measure efficiency?
When you run, because you are moving up and down
What is used to measure running efficiency?
Economy
Flow in exchange of energy within a living system
Bioenergetics
The sum of chemical reactions in the body
Metabolism
What is an anabolic reaction?
It is putting molecules together
Example:photosynthesis which stores energy for later, building muscles, growing bones
What is a catabolic reaction?
Breaking down molecules
Example: breaking down glucose
What is an example of bioenergetics?
Converting micronutrients into energy (fats, lipids, carbohydrates)
