The following questions are based on the following scenario. Please use the equations and information provided.
Scenario: Ciaran, 30 years old, weighs approximately 200 pounds and 175 cm tall is a primary school teacher by profession and a state hockey player who competes in national and international competitions representing his nation, United Kingdom. Ciaran spends his day teaching German language at school, but he will spend his after-work hours and weekends doing training for hockey competitions. When he is not doing hockey training, he loves gardening with his wife updating their backyard doing all sorts of works including building furniture, building dividing points with stones and gravel, fencing, and decorating. He trains in the gym to always stay fit for hockey competitions and occasionally plays cricket.
Harris-Benedict Equation:
*1 pound (lb) is equal to 0.45 kilograms (kg)
Table 1:
Energy Estimated Requirement (EER) Equation: § Adults 19 years and older (Men) EER = 662 - (9.53 x age [y]) + PA x { (15.91 x weight [kg]) + (539.6 x height[m])} § Adults 19 years and older (Women) EER = 354 - (6.91 x age [y]) + PA x { (9.36 x weight [kg]) + (726 x height [m])}
