Abstract
The present disclosure provides examples of a method, including: providing a representative inhale-exhale cycle breathing volume over time profile; and when the subject performs at least one inhale-exhale cycle that meets a correspondence criterion related to the representative profile, using data relating to oxygen consumption or carbon dioxide production during the inhale-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion to determine a metabolic property in the subject.

23. A method, comprising:
-
providing representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data; obtaining a correspondence criterion related to the representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data; monitoring a subject'"'"'s inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time over one or more inhale-hold-exhale cycles; when the subject performs at least one inhale-hold-exhale cycle that meets a correspondence criterion related to the representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data capturing data relating to oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production during the inhale-hold-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion; and processing the data relating to oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production to determine a metabolic property in the subject. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. An apparatus for determining oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production in a subject, comprising:
-
a. a storage module configured for storing a representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data and a correspondence criterion related to the representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data; b. a processing unit configured to; i. receive data representative of a subject'"'"'s inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time over one or more inhale-hold-exhale cycles, ii. process the data representative of a subject'"'"'s inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time to determine when the subject performs at least one inhale-hold-exhale cycle that meets the correspondence criterion, iii. capture data relating to oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production during the inhale-hold-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion, and iv. process the data relating to oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during the inhale-hold-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion to determine a metabolic property in the subject. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)

52. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for determining oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production in a subject, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer readable program code for causing the computer to provide a representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data; computer readable program code for causing the computer to obtain a correspondence criterion related to the representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data; computer readable program code for causing the computer to monitor a subject'"'"'s inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time over one or more inhale-hold-exhale cycles computer readable program code for causing the computer to capture, when the subject performs at least one inhale-hold-exhale cycle that meets a correspondence criterion related to the representative inhale-hold-exhale cycle breathing volume over time data, data relating to oxygen consumption and/or carbon dioxide production during the inhale-hold-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion; computer readable program code for causing the computer to process data relating to oxygen consumption or carbon dioxide production during the inhale-hold-exhale cycle that met the correspondence criterion to determine a metabolic property in the subject.
