Document Summary

Atp release from a fa (palmitic acid c16h32o2) During b-oxidation 1-fadh1 and a 1-nadh + h. For each 2 carbons of fatty acid you get: So for each 2 carbons of your fatty acid you get: 80% energy released from metabolism lost as heat. Oxygen uptake: take up, transport affected by diffusion of oxygen by atmosphere into blood stream, utilize oxygen. Vo2 max is probably the best single measure of cardiorespiratory. Vo2 max may be reported as either absolute or relative values capacity. Either running faster, or making treadmill steeper. As the grade increases, the oxygen uptake increases. Eventually, even though work rate increases, the oxygen uptake stops increasing at a certain point. If it is not increasing anymore it means that you have reached the vo2 max. As work rate increases past vo2 max threshold, it must be. Vo2 = o2 inspired - o2 expired. = (vi x fio2) ve x feo2)
