BEFORE USING THE
PULSPORTS
Human’s body needs water, air, sunlight and food to keep alive.
Water, vitamin, fibrin, carbohydrate, protein and fat are the main
element in food. The three main elements as carbohydrate, protein
and fat can provide energy to body by burning oxygen. Normally, 5
Kcal will be used for 1 liter of oxygen. The burning oxygen and
generated energy is proportional.
Correlation of Basic Metabolism and Heart Rate
So when the body needs more oxygen to burn the frequency of
breath and heart beat will increase to provide more oxygen.

-- Formula (2)
1. Basic metabolism
Energy will be expended even while we sit at rest; the consumption
of oxygen is approximately 3.5 m
ℓ/minute/kg. This value called
MET (Metabolic Equivalent). The minimum energy for maintaining
the daily operation of body is called basic metabolism.
Basic metabolism (O

) = 1 MET = 3.5 m
ℓ O2/minute/kg
O

= 3.5 m
ℓ x 60 x 24 / kg / day = 5.04 ℓ/kg/day
Kcal = 5.04 x 5 Kcal/kg/day = 25.2 Kcal/kg/day (1 ℓ O
2
= 5 Kcal)
For example
, the basic metabolism for a 70 kg is 1764
Kcal/day. (25.2 x 70)
2. Energy consumption by work or exercise
Body needs energy to Work or to exercise. There are only
22~25% (23%) of generated energy will be efficient, i.e. while the
body generates energy of 1 Kcal, about 4~5 Kcal will expend. It
means about 75~80% of energy will transfer to heat, which will be
released by perspiring.
