Outline
What are prediction equations? How are they useful? Walking, running, cycling equations Determining calorie expenditure
exercise session.
Used for a various types of exercise
Cycling, walking, running, stepping
Example Problem
Tom is pedalling at 60 RPMs with a resistance of 2.5 kp.
What is the workload is kgm/min and Watts? Kgm/min = 2.5 (6m/rev 60 rev/min) Workload = 900 kgm/min
Watts = 900 kgm/min 1 Watt 6 kgm/min

Practical Application
Practical Application
Determining the proper exercise intensity to elicit a given VO2
Example
Joe has a VO2max of 55 ml/kg/min and weighs 75 kg. What do we set the bike at so that he is exercising at 70% of his VO2max?
Solution
Determine 70% of VO2max Solve prediction equation for kgm/min Pick an RPM and solve for resistance (workload equation)
Energy Expended
Kcal = VO2 (LO2/min) * RER kcal Equiv. * minutes Remember, if we dont know RER kcal Equiv. then we use the value of 1 LO2/min = 5 kcal/min
Practical Application
Determining caloric expenditure for an exercise session?
Example One
Bill, who weighs 83 kg, exercises on a cycle ergometer for 30 minutes at an resistance setting of 3.0 kg and 60 rpm. What is his predicted total caloric expenditure for the exercise bout?
Solution
Determine kgm/min and then determine predicted VO2. Multiply predicted VO2 (LO2/min) by 5 to get kcal/min Multiply kcal/min by 30 minutes to get total caloric expenditure
