Observation* |
Unit |
Comment |
1. |
Body mass |
kg |
Observation is optional for all packages. |
2. |
Heart rate |
beats per min |
Observation is optional for all packages. |
3. |
Blood hemoglobin |
kg/l |
Observation is recommended for all packages. |
4. |
Systolic blood pressure |
mm Hg |
Observation is recommended for all packages. |
5. |
Diastolic blood pressure |
mm Hg |
Observation is recommended for all packages. |
6. |
Arterial oxygen saturation |
%/100 |
Measured using a pulse oximeter. |
7. |
Blood lactate concentration |
mmol/l |
Measured by any available method for the laboratory, such as blood samples. |
8. |
Average rate of increase in blood lactate concentration |
mmol/l/min |
Is set to 0, since the anaerobic threshold is not exceeded a priori and the body is in a stable condition on lactate. |
9. |
Duration of mechanical systole of the left ventricle |
sec |
Determined by analyzing the ECG. If no is given by the formula: 18 / HR, where HR-heart rate. |
10. |
Duration of mechanical systole of the right ventricle |
sec |
Determined by analyzing the ECG. If no is given by the formula: 18 / HR, where HR-heart rate. |
11. |
Power exercise |
W |
Power of the body during exercise, mounted on a stationary bike or treadmill. |
12. |
Heart output |
l/min |
Measured by any available non-invasive method such as rheography. |
13. |
Respiratory quotient |
|
Measured using a gas analyzer / spirometer. |
14. |
Oxygen consumption (VO2) |
ml/sek |
Measured using a gas analyzer / spirometer. |
* Observations 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 are made simultaneously after 10 minutes of physical activity a small dosage intensity at which anaerobic threshold obviously can not be exceeded. |
