Concept explainers
To express: The standardized (SI) units of work, power, and energy and convert those SI units to other units commonly used in exercise physiology.
Introduction: The metric system is the internationally accepted standard units. Most of the countries use the metric system as the system of measurement. It is based on the powers of ten, and it involves multiplication and division by a factor of ten. The basic units of metric system are meter, liter, and gram.

Explanation of Solution
Work is defined as the supply of energy to an object, resulting in its movement. The SI unit of work is joule. Work is the product of force and distance. Newton (N) is the SI unit of force and meters (m) is the SI unit of distance. In exercise physiology, joule (product of newton and meters) is commonly used as the unit of work.
Power is defined as the ability to do something. Watt (W) is the SI unit of power. Power can be calculated as follows:
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. When work is done, energy is transferred from one form to another form or between the systems. The SI unit of energy is joule, which is also commonly used in exercise physiology.
