DAILY METABOLISM



NAME: ….………...............................……………………………………………………...


DATE OF MEASUREMENT: ………………....... DATE OF BIRTH: …..…………………..



BASAL METABOLIC RATE – theoretical assessment

Determine your basal metabolic rate (BMR) using online Harris-Benedict Calculator


F[1] – Factor for age and height: …………………

F[2] – Factor for body mass:………………………


F[1 ]+ F[2] = ……………………..…..kJ*24h^-1 (= BMR for 24 h.) = …………………….kJ/h^-1



ENERGY EXPENDITURE (EE)

Calculate the whole day energy expenditure using Fleisch tables (search for “Metabolic
Equivalents”, such as:
https://www.grepmed.com/images/7142/mets-cardiology-metabolic-equivalents-activities):


                            EE (kJ) = time of activity (h) * % BMR * your BMR (kJ*h^-1)

                                                                                   100

                                             Time (h)

                                                                                                  Activity

                                                                                                            % BMR

                                                                                                              Calculation

                                                                                                                           EE (kJ)






















































































The whole day EE is…………………………………………………….kJ*24h^-1

CONCLUSIONS

(Compare your BMR and EE to a corresponding reference sample. Is your energetic expenditure
balanced with caloric intake? What is consumed energy transformed to when running marathon? Briefly
explain the principle of oxidative metabolism.)
