Document Summary
Lab #10 determination of maximum oxygen uptake. You have been asked to set up a lab for testing maximum oxygen consumption. Itemize all of the equipment that you will need. Bicycle ergometer, two-way valve, meteorological balloons, nose clip, disinfecting solution for the mouth piece, heart rate monitor, oxygen analyzer, ventilation meter, carbon dioxide analyzer, scale, stopwatch, respiratory valve plus mouthpiece, calibration gases for gas analyzers, mercury barometer, Respired saturated gas and volume are measured at ambient temperature and will need to be corrected to body temperature and pressure saturated (btps) in order to be correct. To apply the correction factor, we must first know the actual ambient temperature and pressure which we measured with a thermometer and barometer. Partial pressure = pressure exerted by a single gas within a gas mixture, or dissolved in a liquid. Vapour pressure = partial pressure exerted by the vapour phase of a liquid.
