METHOD FOR INDIRECT EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL OXYGEN CONSUMPTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/08 A61B5/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: Kerdo index and relevant oxygen consumption are pre-measured at different physical activity levels. A relation model of the Kerdo index and the amount of oxygen consumption (litres per minute) are used to derive: z=a₁·x+a₂·y+a₀, wherein z is a measured intensity of the activity, x is a measured Kerdo index, y is a body response in the form of oxygen consumption (l/min); coefficients a₁, a₂, a₀ are calculated. The amount of individual oxygen consumption is derived from the measured Kerdo index and intensity of the activity by formula $$y=\frac{z-a_0-a_1\cdot x}{a_2},$$ wherein a₁, a₂, a₀ are pre-determined coefficients.

EFFECT: method enables the adequate evaluation of the individually consumed oxygen on physical activity using no gas analysis equipment.
