What this trial measures

  • Heart RateApproximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure heart rate based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.

  • Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure SBP based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.

  • Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Using human non-invasive blood pressure continuous monitoring placed on the middle finger of the non-dominant hand will be used to measure DBP based upon beat-by-beat finger pressure.

  • Oxygen ConsumptionApproximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Oxygen consumption will be measured using indirect calorimetry.

  • Carbon Dioxide ProductionApproximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Carbon Dioxide will be measured using indirect calorimetry.

  • VentilationApproximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    Ventilation will be measured using indirect calorimetry.

  • Respiratory Exchange Ration (RER)Approximately 15 minutes in each condition (sitting and standing)

    RER will be calculated using oxygen and carbon dioxide value measure from indirect calorimetry.
