iWorx Metabolic Measurement Solutions are compact, cost effective and easy-to-use systems capable of accurately and reliably measuring and analyzing oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in resting and exercising subjects in support of:
• Human exercise physiology research
• Small animal metabolic research
• Fitness assessment
Metabolic Calculations Module
LabScribe2™ software with the Metabolic Calculations Module is capable of calculating many metabolic parameters directly from the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, lung volumes, and heart rates recorded in the LabScribe2 Main window. These parameters include:
• Relative and absolute oxygen consumption (VO2)
• Relative and absolute carbon dioxide production (VCO2)
• Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)
• Ventilatory Equivalent (VE/VO2)
• Expired Minute Ventilation (VE)
• Metabolic Equivalent (METS) and more
The Metabolic Calculations Module also allows these parameters to be plotted against time or each other to yield valuable information about the aerobic fitness of the subject. These plots include:
• VO2, VCO2, RER vs. Time
• VCO2 vs. VO2
• VE vs. VO2
• VE vs. VCO2
• HR, VCO2 vs. VO2
(zoom image)
When the workload set on the ergometer is also recorded, the Metabolic Calculations Module can plot these additional parameters:
• VE vs. Watts
• HR, VO2/HR vs. Watts
• VO2, VCO2 vs. Watts
• VE/VO2, VE/VCO2 Vs. Watts
• Resting Energy Expenditure (REE)
