A 25 year old male athlete who weighs 75 kg and is 178 cm tall consumes 3200 kcal's/day. His daily physical activity level would be considered heavy.
Based on this information, what is his predicted daily energy expenditure? With his current diet and activity level, is he in positive, negative, or neutral energy balance?
Define a kilocalorie and how might this concept be applied to the field of exercise science? Provide a brief example of how a MET may be converted to a caloric equivalent.
What is the predominant energy system utilized during submaximal aerobic exercise? How does the body meet energy needs when transitioning from rest to a given submaximal aerobic exercise intensity?
Explain how this information may apply to the performance of the physical activity(conditioning exercise: video exercise workouts, TV conditioning programs(eg., cardio- resistance), vigorous effort )
What are factors that play a role in determining the O2 deficit? What factors can we control in lab on any given day?
Give the historical and current theories explaining the slow component of EPOC.
