Question

1. What is the equation to calculate Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) and what are the RO values for Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein? Equation: RQ fr CHO --, Fat--, Protein: at a higher intensity causes oxygen con on after exercise to be increased because of which of the following? a Increased insulin circulation b. Increased effect of circulating thermogenic hormones c. Lower resting Heart Rate after exercise d. Oxidation of protein after exercise wing methods of Body Composition measurement can measure the total amount of fat and lean muscle mass in grams? a. Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry b. Under Water Weighing c. Archimedes Principle d. Bioelectrical Impedance Which of these hormones increases during exercise to optimize your electrolyte balance in your blood and tissues? 4. a. Cortisol b. Insulin c. Aldosterone d. Norepine De

Explanation / Answer

1) The respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is defined as the ratio between the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in metabolism and oxygen (O2) used.

The equation for RER is = VCO2/ VO2  ( VCO2 is divided by VO2)

RQ (respiratory quotient) for CHO = 1, Fat = 0.7, Protein = 0.8

2) Answer = C

3) B, Under water weighing

4) C, Aldosteron.
