APA 2314 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Indirect Calorimetry, Exercise Intensity, Calorimetry
Document Summary
If the procedure was only one minute instead of three minutes then the procedure would technically take less time but the results would not be as accurate. For longer tasks, the amount of atp made in muscles in directly related to the oxygen being used: the volume of oxygen consumed is not directly related to the external power. This is because the body cannot store large amounts of oxygen that should be for the tissues but is used to produce energy and is therefore more directly related to oxygen production. Relationship between the volume of oxygen consumed and the external physiological power. When lactic acid builds up it decreases the available atp being produced making it more difficult to bike continually at the individuals full threshold. Relationship between the oxygen inhaled (vo2) and the exercise intensity and the oxygen exhaled (ve) and the exercise intensity.
