Desarrollo de Sistema Portable para al Medición del Gasto Energético

Abstract

Every living system consumes energy for its growth and development processes, in the human being it becomes a research paradigm, where the aim is to determine the interaction of man with his environment and the transformation of the energy coming from food.For your study there are different techniques which differ in their level of specialization, cost and accuracy, these are divided into predictive, estimating and measurement. For this project a system that seeks to determine the energy consumption during different states is developed, due to the variability of conditions in which the study of energy consumption is developed, different techniques are established such as indirect calorimetry and the conditions for the evaluation by means of accelerometers and the study of heart rate, where a record of the related variables is made through a computational applicationFinally, the behavior of the prototype in different resting states is evaluated, as well as the evaluation of the sensors used in indirect calorimetry, where evaluation tests of the gas sensors and calibration protocol for the flow sensor are defined.
