Energy intake, expenditure and balance
Exercise Physiology
1 of 7
What is energy expenditure?
The sum of basal metabolic rate, the thermic effect of food and the energy expended through physical activity.
2 of 7
What is the basal metabolic rate?
The minimum amount of energy required to sustain essential physiological function at rest (75% of total energy expenditure)
3 of 7
What is the thermic effect of food?
The energy required to eat, diges, absorb and use food taken in, which accounts for a very small percentage of the total energy expenditure.
4 of 7
What is the physical activity energy expenditure?
The total number of calories required to perform daily tasks, which can be estimated using MET values (30% of total energy expenditure).
5 of 7
What is the metabolic equilvalent (MET) value?
The ratio of a performer's working metabolic rate to their resting metabolic rate.
6 of 7
What is MET value 1?
The amount of energy expended in one hour at rest. Calculated by dividing BMR by 24.
