Appendix A has three parts. Part 1 deals with the metric

system, Part 2 discusses the Système International d’Unités

(SI units), and Part 3 presents conversion factors for clinical

hematology and clinical chemistry.

PART 1 • The Metric System

Most measurements in science are expressed in terms of the

metric system. This system uses units that are related to one an-

other by a power of 10. The prefix centi- means one-hundredth,

milli- means one-thousandth, and kilo- is derived from a word

that means one thousand. In the following sections, we show

the relationship between metric units and English units of

measurement that are relevant to the material presented in this

book.

UNITS OF MASS (WEIGHT)

Use the following conversions for common units of mass

(weight) and volume. For example, 1 ounce 0.06 pound.

Two ounces would therefore equal 2 0.06 0.12 pound,

and 16 ounces 0.96 pound (16 0.06).

Terminology and Units of Measurement

The American College of Sports Medicine suggests that the

following terminology and units of measurement be used in

scientific endeavors to promote consistency and clarity of

communication, and to avoid ambiguity. The terms defined

below utilize the units of measurement of the Système Inter-

national d’Unités (SI units).

Exercise: Any and all activity involving generation

of force by the activated muscle(s) that results in disruption

of a homeostatic state. In dynamic exercise, the muscle may

perform shortening (concentric) contractions or be over-

come by external resistance and perform lengthening (ec-

centric) contractions. When muscle force results in

no movement, the contraction should be termed static or

isometric.

Exercise intensity:A specific level of maintenance of

muscular activity quantified in terms of power (energy ex-

penditure or work performed per unit of time), isometric force

sustained, or velocity of progression.

Endurance: The time limit of a person’s ability to main-

tain either a specific isometric force or a specific power level

involving combinations of concentric or eccentric muscular

contractions.

Mass: A quantity of matter of an object, a direct measure

of the object’s inertia (note: mass weight acceleration

due to gravity; unit: gram or kilogram).

Weight: The force with which a quantity of matter is at-

tracted toward Earth by normal acceleration of gravity (tradi-

tional unit: kilogram).

Energy: The capability of producing force, performing

work, or generating heat (unit: joule or kilojoule).

Force: That which changes or tends to change the state

of rest or motion in matter (unit: newton).

Speed: Total distance traveled per unit of time (unit: me-

ters per second).

Velocity: Displacement per unit of time. A vector quan-

tity requiring that direction be stated or strongly implied (unit:

meters per second or kilometers per hour).

Work: Force expressed through a distance but with no

limitation on time (unit: joule or kilojoule). Quantities of en-

ergy and heat expressed independently of time should also be

presented in joules. The term “work” should not be employed

synonymously with muscular exercise.

Power: The rate of performing work; the derivative of

work with respect to time; the product of force and velocity

(unit: watt). Other related processes such as energy release

and heat transfer should, when expressed per unit of time, be

quantified and presented in watts.

Torque: Effectiveness of a force to produce axial rotation

(unit: newton meter).

Volume: A space occupied, for example, by a quantity of

fluid gas (unit: liter or milliliter). Gas volumes should be in-

dicated as ATPS, BTPS, or STPD.

Amount of a substance: The amount of a substance is

frequently expressed in moles. A mole is the quantity of a

chemical substance that has a weight in mass units (e.g.,

grams) numerically equal to the molecular weight, or that in

the case of a gas has a volume occupied by such a weight un-

der specified conditions. One mole of a respiratory gas is

equal to 22.4 liters at STPD.

APPENDIX A • The Metric System and Conversion Constants in Exercise Physiology 1053

PART 2 • SI UnitsThe uniform numerical value system is known as the Système

International d’Unités, or its abbreviation, SI. SI was devel-

oped through international cooperation to create a universally

acceptable system of measurement. SI ensures that units of

measurement are uniform in concept and style. The SI system

permits quantities in common use to be more easily com-

pared. Many scientific organizations endorse the concept of

the SI, and leading journals in nutrition, health, and exercise

science now require that laboratory data be presented in SI

units. The information in this appendix has been summarized

from a detailed description about the SI published in the fol-

lowing article:

Young DS. Implementation of SI units for clinical laboratory data. Style

specifications and conversion tables. Ann Intern Med 1987;106:114.
