METHOD FOR ESTIMATING METABOLIC COST OF MAINTENANCE AT REST AND PHYSICAL EXERCISES IN OBESE PATIENTS

摘要

A method for estimating the metabolic cost of maintenance at rest and physical exercises in the obese patients provides forC-bicarbonate respiration assay measuringC concentration in COof expired air with the aid of infrared analyzed of isotopes IRIS (Wagner Analysen Technik GmbH) in the morning and in the evening. The data are analyzed with the aid of IPIC program the energy cost is expressed in kJ.
