In contrast, field metabolic rate (FMR) refers to the metabolic rate of an unrestrained, active animal in nature. [4] Whole-animal metabolic rates refer to these measures without correction for body mass. If SMR or BMR values are divided by the body mass value for the animal, then the rate is termed mass-specific.
An Automated breathing metabolic simulator (ABMS) simulates human breathing and metabolism through mechanical means respiration. [1] ABMS technology is used as a platform for qualification and evaluation of Respiratory protective equipment like a Closed-Circuit breathing apparatus or N95 mask , usually by government or commercial entities.
XF technology also measures fatty acid oxidation, and metabolism of glucose and amino acids for kinetic metabolic information. Research on obesity, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases use this technology. [1] [12] Seahorse Bioscience raised $9.4 million to use for research and development, and company growth in 2012.
The PNOE metabolic and respiratory analysis gives performance and PTs new insights about their clients' health. I tried the test to hack my marathon training.
The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...
The respiratory quotient (RQ or respiratory coefficient) is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body, when the body is in a steady state.
In the early 1970s, computer technology enabled on-site data processing, some real-time analysis, and even graphical displays of metabolic variables, such as O 2, CO 2, and air-flow, thereby encouraging academic institutions to test accuracy and precision in new ways. [10] [11] A few years later in the decade, battery-operated systems made debuts.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. [1] It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging from watt (joule/second) to ml O 2 /min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/(h·kg).
