INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1. Determine the average BASELINE VO2 and VCO2. To do so, take the average of the first 5 minutes (the first 5 rows have BASELINE next to them to help identify these points). STEP 2. Determine the BASELINE Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER). If you need a reminder on how to calculate this, go back to the videos from Lab 3. ROUND TO 2 DIGITS AFTER THE DECIMAL. STEP 3. Determine the kcal / Liter O2 ratio that corresponds to the RER that you just calculated. Use the table in APPENDIX D (provided in the module on Canvas) to find this. STEP 4. Multiply the BASELINE VO2 and the kcal/L O2 ratio that you just determined in STEP 3 to get the kcal/minute energy expenditure (EE) at BASELINE. STEP 5. Repeat STEP 1, but this time using the END-EXERCISE VO2 and VCO2. STEP 6. Repeat STEP 2, but this time to find the END-EXERCISE RER. STEP 7. Repeat STEP 3, but this time to find the END-EXERCISE kcal/L O2 ratio. STEP 8. Repeat STEP 4, but this time to find the END-EXERCISE energy expenditure (EE). STEP 9. The energy demand (energy required for the exercise being performed) in kcal/minute
