Instructor (s)Prof. Dr. Tahir HAZIR 
Course objectiveThe aim of this course is to gain knowledge and practice about measurement and calculation of energy expenditure by indirect calorimetric method during rest, and different ergometers and exercise modes 
Learning outcomes
  1. have knowledge about the calibration process.
  2. have knowledge about indirect calorimetric method
  3. use automatic gas analysis systems
  4. measure resting metabolic rate
  5. measure maximal oxygen consumption and calculate energy expenditure during
  6. submaximal or maximal exercise on different ergometers
  7. determine ventilatory threshold from spirometric data and evaluate aerobic capacity
Course ContentCalculation of energy expenditure in rest and submaximal exercise by indirect calorimetric method using automatic gas analysis systems, assessment of aerobic capacity with maximal oxygen consumption, running economy and respiratory threshold measurements
