Sprinting is an activity that relies heavily on anaerobic metabolism over short periods of time. From a conceptual perspective, what would be the most accurate way to measure metabolic rate during sprinting?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct calorimetry measures heat production, which is a direct indicator of metabolic rate, and is suitable for activities like sprinting that rely on anaerobic metabolism where oxygen consumption is not a reliable measure.
