Kin 247 Fall 2016 Assignment 1 Total Points 100 Due Date Wednesday September 28 2016 by 5 00pm paper and turnitin copies It is now common to find metabolic equivalents METs displayed on screens of aerobic exercise machines such as treadmills and ellipticals This is an important variable used in the field of physical activity measurement and exercise prescription to express the energy cost of physical activities This assignment will provide the opportunity to explore two applications of METs in real world situations This assignment will help you determine what a MET feels like which will better your understanding as we apply this term throughout the rest of the semester It is also important to know how many calories we burn during the activities we participate in The second purpose of this assignment is to help you learn how to apply the MET concept for translating your physical activity behavior to MET hours METminutes and kcals For this assignment spelling and grammar will be taken into account in the final grading so please proofread your work before handing it in This assignment is worth 6 of your final grade If you have questions please attend office hours You must show ALL calculations as per the instructions for each questions Turn in the completed charts and the answers to the questions Answers should be in your own words complete sentences and typed Assignment instructions Part 1 1 You will need to fill out the Body Shop forms i e Consent Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire PAR Q which are available on Moodle under Assignments Print 2 copies Hand one in to Cory and bring the other to the body shop with you 5 points 2 You will bring your completed forms to the Body Shop located in the Totman Building The staff in the Body Shop will have a class roster and you will have to initial next to your name The Body Shop hours are as follows Monday Thursday 6 30 am to 9 pm Friday 6 30 am to 6 pm Saturday 10 am to 4 pm Sunday 12 pm to 4 pm 3 At the Body Shop you will choose to use TWO different pieces of equipment from the following list treadmill Arc Trainer Bike or row machine Enter your information i e weight into the machine 4 For each piece of equipment you choose you will complete five 3 minute stages total of 15 minutes per machine For each stage you should be at a different workload Record the workload in the table below For example if you choose the treadmill you will change the speed and or grade to change the workload both of these variables should be recorded in the table below 5 Fill in the two charts below one for the first machine you choose and one for the second machine you choose Make sure to fill in the type of machine that you used Record the METS displayed and RPE during the 3rd minute of exercise at each stage You will find the METs from the machine most accurate if you put in your weight and provide your rating of perceived exertion RPE For your reference the Borg Scale RPE scale is after question 3 Two

calories you are burning when compared to your RMR An example of this could be if we take a look above at me running on a treadmill at a speed of 3 5 Im doing 7 66 METs which means I m doing 7 66x more work than if i was in RMR METs are typically used as a calorie multiplier to by using the following equation 1MET ml kg hr 3 5mlO2 kg min 2 Graph the relationship between METs and RPE for both pieces of equipment on the graph below Label each axis on your graph and include the units of measure In this example METs are the independent variable so it goes on the X axis RPE is the dependent variable so it should be placed on the Y axis Make sure you label the two lines on the graph so it is clear which line represents each machine 8 points Bike Treadmil 18 RPE 14 4 10 8 7 2 3 6 0 0 0 2 2 4 4 6 6 8 8 11 0 METs 3 Describe the relationship between METS and RPE for each piece of equipment you tried For example is it a positive or negative relationship Is it linear or non linear What characteristic of physical activity does METs represent 5 points In both pieces of equipment there is a positive linear relationship From looking at the graph i would have to say that the more METs a physical activity has the harder more energy consuming it will be The relationship between METs and RPE is an almost identical one as in METs can also show you your RPE Assignment Instructions Part 2 1 Write down the activities you engage in during a typical day along with the amount of time you do them This should include all types of activities such as walking to class chores and structured exercise You need to include at least 5 activities Look up the physical activities you listed in the Compendium of Physical Activities https sites google com site compendiumofphysicalactivities 2 In the chart below record the name of the activity the MET value for the activity your weight in kilograms and the duration you usually do each activity in hours You can add rows to the table as needed 3 Once you have the MET value of your activity your weight in kilograms and the amount of time you participated in your activity you should calculate MET hours MET minutes and kcals for each activity 4 Show all calculations for 4 of the activities below Chart 40 points includes points for calculations below Name of the Activity wrestling MET Value Body Duration Weight hours kg METhours METminutes
