Energy metabolism resting state

Figures 4.28,4.29, and 4.30 can be used as a guide to understanding the changes in energy metabolism occurring in transitions between rest and exerdse and between rest and feeding. In Figure 4.28, resting state styles of energy metabolism...

Metabolic rate, basal (BM) Metabolic energy transformation calculated from measurements of heat production or oxygen consumption in an organism in a rested, awake, fasting, and thermoneutral state, in W nr. ... 

Metabolism aeeomplishes, among other things, the conversion of food energy into the energy of motion. Regulation of metabolism allows the abrupt transition from a state of rest to the breath-taking power and grace of athletic competition. 

The other major component of daily energy expenditure is due to physical activity. For most individuals in the United States, physical activity accounts for 15%-30% of the total daily energy. Most people can sustain metabolic rates 8-10 times their resting value (8-10 METS or multiples of the resting metabolic rate) with reasonably strenuous activi-...
