| Introduction to practical application of energy metabolism and measuring methods in indirect calorimetry. Introduction and practical use of anthropometric measurements. Introduction and practical use of various biochemical measurements, including blood and urine parameters. Analyses of weighed dietary food registrations, food frequency questionnaires and 24 hour recall as methods for determination of nutrient intake on group and individual basis. | |||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||
| The course includes one teaching module each week with practical exercises. The students will work together in groups and are expected to plan and carry out some practical exercises and subsequently process and compile the data in a report or in abstract form.
