Q

limitations of whole body calorimeters

A

expensive
error due to
- heat produced by ergometer
- thermoregulation - body can act as a reservoir of heat, which can be affected by body composition/ind variability

experimental findings and therefore?

A

direct heat measurement - 2723 kcal

Q

amount of O2 required and CO2 produced for the oxidation of carbs

22
Q

RQ for fat

Study These Flashcards
A

a molecule of fat is less oxidized (higher ratio of carbon to oxygen) - more oxygen is required to oxidize fat RQ<1

23
Q

Palmitic FA RQ

Study These Flashcards
A

C16H32O2+ 24O2=16CO2 +16H2O

16/24=0.67

24
Q

What is not a major source of energy during rest and submax exercise

25
proteins are catabolized into
AA
26
Average RQ of AA is
0.85
27
what is RQ for protein largely ignored by exercise physiologists
little protein is used as a source of energy during exercise
28
RER
respiratory exchange ratio | - CO2/O2at mouth
29
RQ vs RER
same at rest and during steady state submaximal exercise
30
RER depends on and ranges from
intensity of exercise, 0.7 (all fat) -1.0 (all carbs, greater than 1, hydrogen buffering
31
RER lvls have an assigned
caloric equivalent value
32
hydrogen buffering
lactate and hydrate needed bicarbonate to get rid of it, production of more co2 which can mess with things to affect the ratio and slightly anaerobic
33
how do we measure oxygen consumed and CO2 produced
``` spirometry - indirect calorimetry method for estimating heat production in which expired air is measured and analyzed for the amount of O2 consumed and CO2 produced Closed system (air out of a tank, not usually) and open circuit spirometry (breath in room air and analyze the composition and volume of air that you breathed out) ```
34
composition of atmosphere air
oxygen -21% CO2 - .03% N2 - 79%
35
open circuit indirect calorimetry/spirometry uses _____ to measure
computerized metabolic(metabolic cart) for - volume of air expired - % of O2 and CO2 in expired air
36
how to determinate oxygen consumption with open circuit indirect calorimetry/spirometry
it is the amt of oxygen taken up, transported and used at the cellular level VO2 = volume inspired*fraction O2-volume expired*fraction O2 volume
37
how to determine CO2 produced
amt of CO2 generated during metabolism | VCO2 = volume expired*fraction CO2-volume inspired*fraction CO2
38
how do we determine volume inspired
volume of air inspired vs expired are slightly diff - haldane transformation (V*FIN2-V*FEN2) because N2 is not used in metabolism (inert gas) so we can use the ratio of nitrogen inspired /expired to obtain original volume
39
gas volume as affected by barometric pressure, temp, and water vapour
increase pressure - decreased volume (boyles law) increased temperture - increased air volume (charles law) increased humidity - increased air volume
40
why standardize spirometry?
permit VO2 results in different settings - normalize VE to STPD - standard temperature pressure dry 273 kelvin or 0 degrees, 700mmhg, normalized effects of humidity
41
we measure CO2 and O2 to
see their kcals
42
prior to using the metabolic cart the machine must be
calibrated - O2 and CO2 sensors calibrated with standardized gas mix - known gas volume used to calibrate volume of air so accurate VE measures are obtained (large syringe)
43
portable metabolic carts for
running, swimming, animals
44
douglas bags
breathing tubes with valves to analyze air flow out of lungs
45
How does RER increase and what does it mean?
increase of intensity to increase Carb utilization
46
low intensity and RER
low RER and high utilization of fat
47
liver glycogen is high during (2)
high intensity short and moderate duration
48
RER and RQ are equal when?
under rest and sub max exercise
49
3 situations when
1- bicarbonate buffering during high intensity exercise - elevated CO2 production RER bigger than 1 2. anticipatory response to exercise - hyperventilation results in increased VCO2 increasing RER 3. Recovery - decrease in ventilation (hypoventilation) and restoration of blood bicarbonate conc. resulting in decreased VCO2 relative to VO2, decreased RER
50
MET
metabolic equivalent - amt of energy used for resting metabolism 1MET = 3.5mlO2 /(min*kg) no additional stress or activity factors for normal body weight of 25-30BMI
51
activities and MET
multiples of MET - asses someone's energy expenditure
52
double labeled water
12-17 day period objective measure of energy expenditure - deuterium and O18 to indirectly measure energy expenditure H leaves as water whereas O leaves as water and CO2, difference in the loss of O and H lets you calculate the CO2 produces
