KINES 456 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Conversion Of Units
Document Summary
The equations on the table will be given on the exam. These formulae will give us gross vo2 (units ml/kg/min: gross vo2 can also be defined by the absolute vo2, absolute vo2 is measured in l/min, absolute vo2 = (gross vo2 * body mass (kg))/1000. From gross vo2 we can calculate net vo2 (ml/kg/min: net vo2 = gross vo2 resting vo2, resting vo2 is assumed to be 3. 5 ml/kg/min. We will also calculate mets 1 met = 3. 5 ml/kg/min: gross vo2/3. 5 = mets. Calories burned per minute = absolute vo2 * 4. 9 kcal/l. Gross vo2 3. 5 = net vo2 * body mass = absolute ml/min /1000 = l/min * 4. 9 = kcals.
