Book Metabolic Calculations Simplified

Download or read book Metabolic Calculations Simplified written by David P. Swain and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 1997 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last here's a simplified version of the ACSM metabolic equations and an easier way to solve them. Drs. Swain and Leutholtz provide straightforward formulas for figuring the caloric expenditure, or oxygen consumption during walking, running, stationary cycling, and bench stepping. This handy reference also shows how to apply the equations to other pieces of exercise equipment, calculate heart rate prescriptions, and estimate maximal oxygen consumption from exercise tests. In addition to simplifying difficult math problems without sacrificing the underlying content of the equations or the accuracy of their answers, the authors reinforce their formulas with many sample problems and case studies.

Book Development and Cross validation of a Cadence based Metabolic Equation for Walking

Download or read book Development and Cross validation of a Cadence based Metabolic Equation for Walking written by Christopher C. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ACSM Metabolic Equation is a widely recognized equation for predicting metabolic intensity from walking speed. However, an equation that uses an observable metric (i.e., cadence [steps/min]), accounts for individual characteristics, and is validated across walking conditions may enable more accessible and accurate predictions of walking intensity. PURPOSE: To develop metabolic equations that predict metabolic intensity (oxygen consumption; mL/kg/min) from cadence using a large treadmill walking dataset (Study One) and cross-validate these equations during overground unconstrained and cadence-constrained walking conditions (Study Two). METHODS: In Study One, 193 adults (21-81 years) completed treadmill walking bouts while oxygen consumption was measured with indirect calorimetry (converted to metabolic equivalents [METs]; 1 MET=3.5 mL/kg/min=1 kcal/kg/min). Directly-observed step counts divided by bout duration produced cadence. The least squares regression of the cadence-intensity relationship produced a simple equation and a full equation was developed using best subsets regression (additional possible predictors of leg length, body mass, BMI, percent body fat, sex, and age). Predictive accuracy and bias of each cadence-based metabolic equation and the ACSM Metabolic Equation was evaluated through k-fold cross-validation. In Study Two, these three metabolic equations were applied to data collected from 20 young adults during overground walking at self-selected paces (unconstrained) and with foot-strikes entrained to music tempos (cadence-constrained). RESULTS: In Study One, the simple equation predicted walking intensity within 0.5 METs, on average, and approximately no bias (CONCLUSIONS: The simple equation performed comparably to the full equation (which accounted for individual characteristics) and appreciably better than the ACSM Metabolic Equation. The simple cadence-based metabolic equation is an improved, user-friendly tool for predicting and prescribing walking intensity with reasonable accuracy (within ~0.5 METs; 45 kcals/hr for the average American).

Book ACSM s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription

Download or read book ACSM s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription written by American College of Sports Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommended title for 2005 ACSM Certification Examinations! ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription began as a concise summary of recommendations for exercise testing and prescription primarily for cardiac patients; it has now become one of the single most internationally read and referenced texts of its kind. This reference is a virtual pharmacopoeia of exercise guidelines in a broad spectrum of patients. In this new edition there is heightened emphasis on preventing illness in apparently healthy persons and those "at risk", as well as treating patients with chronic disease. There are also two new chapters on methods for changing exercise behavior and legal issues.

Book Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake Using the Rockport One Mile Walk Test and Rating of Perceived Exertion

Download or read book Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake Using the Rockport One Mile Walk Test and Rating of Perceived Exertion written by Alexander L. Beauchene and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of using the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) on the accuracy of the Rockport 1- mile walk test. Eighty-eight subjects ranging in age and fitness levels performed a Rockpmt 1- mile walk test and a Balke maximal oxygen consumption (V02max) test on the treadmill. During both tests the subject's RPE was recorded each stage of the V02mnx test and every 200 meters of the Rockpmt test. Maximal oxygen consumption was predicted by using linear regression. The accuracy of the equations was determined using multiple regression (R2 between V02max predicted fi·om 1 mile walk time and RPE with measured V02max· The Rockport lJ equation was slightly less accurate compared to the original Rockport, but is simpler as it only used 2 variables. The equation: Predicted V02max = 31.142- (1.13- (Walk time))- (.305(final RPE)) x 3.5, R2 predictive power to the equation when compared to only using time to walk !·mile and was not significantly different than the original Rockport equation. ) and standard error of estimate (SEE).

Book Validation of the Cosmed Fitmate for Predicting Maximal Oxygen Consumption

Download or read book Validation of the Cosmed Fitmate for Predicting Maximal Oxygen Consumption written by Jung Min Lee and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the Cosmed Fitmate (FM) in predicting maximal oxygen consumption (VO2[subscript max]), compared to the Douglas bag (DB) method. In addition, this study examined whether measuring submaximal VO2, rather than predicting it, can improve upon the prediction of VO2[subscript max]. Thirty-two males and sixteen females (Mean " SD: age 31 " 10 yr, body mass 72.9 " 13.0 kg, height 1.75 " 0.09 m, BMI 23.4 " 3 kg·m−2) volunteered to participate in the study. Each participant completed a submaximal and a maximal treadmill test using the Bruce protocol on two separate occasions. During the submaximal test, VO2[subscript max] was predicted using the FM, while during the maximal test VO2[subscript max] was measured using the DB method. The Cosmed Fitmate predicts VO2[subscript max] by extrapolating the linear regression relating heart rate and measured VO2 to age-predicted maximum heart rate (HR = 220-age). This study also examined the validity of predicting VO2[subscript max] by using the ACSM metabolic equations to estimate submaximal VO2. VO2[subscript max] values from the FM, the DB method, and ACSM prediction equations were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and linear regression analyses. The level of significance was set at P
