Perform lung volume measurements to analyze respiratory airflow. Investigate breathing mechanics by examining pressure/airflow and pressure/volume relationships. Analyze respiratory gas consumption and production in real time. For metabolic analysis, use the MP System as a money-saving, flexible alternative to metabolic carts. Use AcqKnowledge to integrate airflow to ontain online breath-by-breath volume. Multiply volume measurements by gas concentration values to determine amount of O2 consumed and CO2 produced. Record airwave pressure and divide by airflow to obtain pulmonary resistance. Divide volume by pressure to derive pulmonary compliance.
BIOPAC's TEL100Cremote monitoring system was used for the "Super Strength" episode on the National Geographic Channel. The episode features Mark Phillipe—an America's Strongest Man winner—pulling a truck that is 85 times his weight while BIOPAC equipment measures his muscle activity, breath-by-breath ventilation rate, heart rate, and load cell signal.
