  1. Metabolic Calculations - Purpose Estimate energy expenditure during steady state exercise

  2. Importance of Metabolic Calculations • It is imperative that the exercise physiologist is able to interpret test results and estimate energy expenditure. • Optimizing exercise protocols. • Exercise prescription. • Weight loss.

  3. Metabolic Calculations (S=Speed in m/min; G= % Grade) MODE Horizonal + Vertical + Rest • Walking VO2 = (0.1• S) + (1.8 • S • G) + 3.5 • Running VO2 = (0.2• S) + (0.9 • S • G) + 3.5 • Cycle VO2 = 1.8 (work rate) + 3.5 + 3.5 Body Weight (kgs) • Arm VO2 = 3 (Work Rate) + 3.5 Body Weight (kgs) • Stepping VO2 = (0.2• f) + (1.33 • 1.8 • h • f) + 3.5 CARRY OUT EACH STEP TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES Monark Cycle Work Rate: Resistance X Revs/min x 6m/rev Monark Arm Work Rate: Resistance X Revs/min x 2.4m/rev

  4. 1L= 1000 mL 1kg= 2.2 lbs 1mph= 26.8 mmin-1 1 MET = 3.5 mLkg-1min-1 1 W= 6 kgmmin-1 1 in = 0.0254m=2.54 cm Pace: min/mile to mph = 60/time Ex: 7.5 min/mile / 60 min/hr = 8mph Kcal/min = METS * 3.5 * BW 200 1L O2min-1= 5 kcalmin-1 1 lb of fat= 3500kcal

  5. Metabolic Calculations (S=Speed; G=Grade) • Walking (most accurate from 1.9-3.7 mph) • VO2 = (0.1• S) + (1.8 • S • G) + 3.5 • Treadmill and Outdoor Running (for speeds > 5 mph) • VO2 = (0.2• S) + (0.9 • S • G) + 3.5 • Leg Ergometry • VO2 = 1.8 (work rate)/(BM) + 3.5 + 3.5 • Arm Ergometry • VO2 = 3 (Work Rate)/(BM) + 3.5 • Stepping • VO2 = (0.2• F) + (1.33 • 1.8 • H • f) + 3.5 CARRY OUT EACH STEP TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES

  6. Assumptions and Limitations • Measured VO2 is highly reproducible at a given steady state workload. Failure to achieve steady state is an overestimation of VO2. • Accuracy of equations is unaffected by most environmental conditions such as heat and cold. • However, variables that change mechanical efficiency (gait abnormalities, wind, snow or sand) result in a loss of accuracy. • Assumption that ergometers are calibrated and no holding on to hand rails occur during on treadmill.

  7. Met Calc - Key Points • Estimates oxygen requirement (VO2) for various workloads • Linear relationship • Some variability (S.E.E. ­ 7%) assumptions S.E.E. ­ 7%

  8. Met Calc - Key Points (con’t) Anaerobic Component • “Steady State” or submax exercise: O2 cost = O2 uptake • “Maximal” Exercise O2 cost > O2 uptake = Predicted VO2max VO2max O2Requirement Max Exer Workload you cannot predict maximal

  9. Met Calc - General Principle Metabolic Equivalent Mechanical Workload • Meters.min-1 • kgm.min-1 • VO2 • METs • kcals.min-1 We estimate one value based on knowledge of the other

  10. Metabolic Units Gross vs. NET All equations give Gross VO2 values. For weight loss use the NET VO2 vales. NET: Gross – resting value VO2NET : 40 ml/kg/min – 3.5 ml/kg/min = 36.5 ml/kg/min OR : 11.4 METS – 1 MET = 10.4 METS

  11. Metabolic Calculations (S=Speed in m/min; G= % Grade) MODE Horizonal + Vertical + Rest • Walking VO2 = (0.1• S) + (1.8 • S • G) + 3.5 • Running VO2 = (0.2• S) + (0.9 • S • G) + 3.5 • Cycle VO2 = 1.8 (work rate) + 3.5 + 3.5 Body Weight • Arm VO2 = 3 (Work Rate) + 3.5 Body Weight • Stepping VO2 = (0.2• f) + (1.33 • 1.8 • h • f) + 3.5 CARRY OUT EACH STEP TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES Monark Cycle Work Rate: Resistance X Revs/min x 6m/rev Monark Arm Work Rate: Resistance X Revs/min x 2.4m/rev

  12. ACSM Walking Equation • Speeds ­ 50-100 m/min; 1.9-3.7 mph • (1 mph = 26.8 m/min) • “Relative” VO2 unit (ml/kg/min; ml.kg-1.min -1) VO2 walking = Horizontal Walking (HW) + Vertical Climb (VC) + Resting VO2 walking=Speed (m/min)x 0.1 + % grade x Speed (m/min)x 1.8 + 3.5

  13. ACSM Walking Equation • Example: VO2 for walking @ 3.0 mph at 5% grade • Convert 3.0 mph to m/min • 3.0 x 26.8 = 80.4 m/min VO2 walking = Horizontal Component + Vertical Component + Resting VO2 walking = Speed (m/min)x 0.1 + % grade x Speed (m/min)x 1.8 + 3.5 • VO2 = 80.04 x 0.1 + 80.04 x .05 x 1.8 + 3.5 • VO2 = 8.04 + 7.2 0 + 3.5 • VO2 = 18.74 ml.kg-1.min-1 • VO2 = 18.74 ml.kg-1.min-1 / 3.5 = 5.4 METS

  14. ACSM Running Equation • Speeds > 134 m/min; > 5.0 mph (1 mph = 26.8 m/min) VO2 for running at 6.0 mph at a 5% grade • Convert 6.0 mph to m/min • 6.0 x 26.8 = 160.8 m/min VO2 running = Horizontal Component + Vertical Component + Resting VO2 running = Speed (m/min)x 0.2 + % grade x Speed (m/min)x 0.9 + 3.5 VO2 running = 160.8x 0.2 + 0.05 x 160.8x 0.9 + 3.5 VO2 running = 32.16 + 7.24 + 3.5 VO2 running = 42.9 ml/kg/min VO2 running = 42.9 ml/kg/min / 3.5 = 12.26 METS

  15. ACSM Leg Cycling Equation • Loads 300-1200 kgm/min; 50-200 watts Work Rate = kg x meters/rev x RPM Use 6 meters/revolution for the Monark Ergometer Add resting twice : 1 for resting and 1 for unloaded Q: What is the VO2 for a 90 kg subject pedaling at 2.0 kgs at 60 rpms Work Rate: 2.0 kg x 6 m/rev x 60 rpms = 720 kgm VO2 Cycling = 1.8x WR+ 3.5 + 3.5 BW VO2 Cycling = 1.8x 720+ 3.5 + 3.5 90 kgs VO2 Cycling = 14.4 + 3.5 + 3.5 VO2 Cycling = 21.4 ml/kg/min or 6.1 METS

  16. ACSM Arm Cycling Equation • Loads 150 to 750 kgm/min; 25-125 watts • 3.0 = ml.min-1 per kpm/min ( from leg cycling) • Only 1 resting component (3.5) • Monark™ Rehab Trainer: 2.4 meter/rev Work Rate: kg x 2.4 meters/rev x rpm Q: What is the VO2 of a 100 kg person who uses a Monark arm ergometer at 3 kg at 50 rpms. Work Rate: 3 kg x 2.4 meters/rev x 50 revs/min = 360 kgm • VO2 arm= 3x WR + 3.5 ml.kg-1.min-1 BW • VO2 arm= 3x 360 + 3.5 ml.kg-1.min-1 = 14.3 ml/kg/min 100

  17. ACSM Stepping Equation • VO2stepping = 0.2 x f + 1.33 x 1.8 x h x f + 3.5 • VO2 varies with Step height & rate • “Relative” VO2 unit (ml.kg-1.min-1) • VO2 (ml.kg-1.min- 1 ) = Horizontal + Vertical + Resting • Horizontal = steps/min x 0.2 • Vertical= step ht x steps/minx 1.33 x 1.8 • Down cycle ­ 0.33 VO2 of the up cycle (add this in by multiplying by “1.33”) • 1.8 is the constant for vertical work • Step height is entered in meters • 1 in = 0.0254m=2.54 cm

  18. ACSM Stepping Equation Q: What is the VO2 for a 55 kg woman who is stepping on a 12” bench at 30 steps per minute • Calculate step height in meters • 12” x 0.0254 = 0.31 meters VO2stepping= 0.2 x f + 1.33 x 1.8 x h x f + 3.5 VO2stepping = 0.2 x 30 + 1.33 x 1.8 x 0.31 x 30 + 3.5 VO2stepping= 6 + 22.26 + 3.5 VO2stepping=31.76 ml/kg.min VO2stepping = 31.76/3.5 = 9.1 METS Question: What is the kcal expenditure (kcal.min-1) for this 55 kg person exercising at the above VO2 or METS? This person exercises at this rate 3 times per week for 30 minutes each session. How long will it take this person to lose 10 pounds exercising at this rate?

  19. Kcal conversion example Q: What is the kcal expenditure (kcal.min-1) for a 55 kg person exercising at an oxygen uptake of 9.1 METs? This person exercises at this rate 3 times per week for 30 minutes each session. How long will it take this person to lose 10 pounds exercising at this rate? kcal.min-1 = METs x 3.5 x BW (kg) 200 kcal.min-1 = 8.1 x 3.5 x 55 (Why did we use 8.1 METS?) 200 (For weight loss use the NET) kcal.min-1 = 7.8 1 pound of fat = 3,500 kcals 10 pounds = 35,000 kcals Answer:35,000 kcals = 4,487.18 minutes 7.8 kcals/min 4,487.18 minutes = 49.9 weeks 90 minutes/week
