IE/BIOE 553 Lab #3 MEASURING AEROBIC CAPACITY AND PREDICTING ENERGY EXPENDITUREResultsSlide 3IE/BIOE 553 Lab #3MEASURING AEROBIC CAPACITY AND PREDICTING ENERGY EXPENDITUREObjectivesTo estimate an individual's aerobic capacity based upon oxygen consumption and heart rates at submaximal work loads for a bicycling taskTo validate Garg's metabolic model based on a lifting taskTo validate heart rate as a valid means of estimating workload To validate Borg’s subjective rating of perceived exertion as a valid means of estimating workload HypothesesResults and ConclusionsResultsMax VO2= 3.57 liter/min.Max E = 17.58 Kcal/min.VO2 = 0.0585*divisions on graph+.0978ResultsExperimentally:Max VO2= 1.62 liter/min.Max E = 8.23 Kcal/min.Ereq to lift 10kg box=1.97Kcal/min.Ereq to lift 20kig box=5.9 Kcal/min.Using Garg’s Model:Energy is spent in standing, lifting, lowering and arm movement.Ereq to lift 10kg box=2.9Kcal/min.Ereq to lift 20kig box=9.5
