In Excel calculate RER for each minute. Determine the caloric (thermal) equivalent of RER using Table 1 and enter into Excel Spreadsheet. Calculate energy expenditure (kcal/min) for each minute using RER, VO2 (L/min), and the caloric equivalents for RER from Table 1 (for RER below 0.70, use caloric equivalent for RER = 0.70; for RER above 1.0 use the caloric equivalent for RER = 1.0). Calculate the total energy expenditure (kcals) during the session (including baseline and recovery).2. Graph the VO2 response in comparison to stage from baseline to exercise to recovery. Indicate where oxygen deficit and EPOC occur on the graph.3. Graph the RER response in comparison to stage from baseline to exercise to recovery.4. Was steady state reached at each stage? Why or why not?
