Metabolic activity and possibilities of its prediction
Štrbík, Tomáš ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Řehák Kopečková, Barbora (advisor)
Metabolic rate is a set of processes in the body that convert food into energy and building materials, allowing us to grow, move, and maintain health. Therefore, it is important, and in some cases of illness also necessary, to monitor this variable. Various methods have been developed to quantify metabolic rate. The most accurate results come from direct measurements, which are often unavailable or too expensive, and are therefore primarily used for medical and scientific purposes. As an alternative, estimation methods based on easily measurable variables offer a more practical approach in everyday practice. This work discusses the different methods of determining metabolic rate and the various factors that influence it. Finally, one of these estimation methods is applied to available data. After comparing the measured and estimated values, a MAPE value of up to 11% was achieved during the performed activity, while during rest, this value reached up to 154%.
