Introduction

Code to clean data from Jaeger Oxycon Pro metabolic cart based on the paper "Methods Used to Process Data from Indirect Calorimetry and Their Application to VO2MAX" Robert A Robergs and Angus F Burnett. Journal of Exercise Physiology. 6(2), 2003.

Preliminaries

Place the code next to the participants folder which contain a file called timing.csv and a CSV data file generated by Jaeger.

• data
  • Jaeger
    • 301
      • timing.csv
      • JaegerDataFile.csv
    • 302
      • timing.csv
      • JaegerDataFile.csv
    • ...
  • intervals.csv

The timing.csv should contain the following columns:

• Task name stores the task done by participant
• Start time is start date and time (in ####-##-## ##:##:## format)
• End time is end date and time (in ####-##-## ##:##:## format)

The data folder also contains a file called intervals.csv which stores information about each participants as follows:

• herox stores participants alias names
• kit is the package number
• phone is phone id
• watch is Apple watch id
• fitbit is Fitbit id
• geneactiv is GENEActiv id
• snesedoc is SenseDoc id
• start is start date and time (in ####-##-## ##:##:## format)
• end is end date and time (in ####-##-## ##:##:## format)
• userid is a unique id for each participant
• wrist is 1 if Apple Watch and GENEActiv are on the same wrist, otherwise 0
• age, gender, weight and height are demographic data
• street, city, postal are address information for each participant.

Note: This file should be kept updated throughout the experiment.

Run

Steps to run the code as in the follows:

1. Modifying required variables

• Modify path and intrPath, the Jaeger participants folder and intervals.csv, respectively
• Change the uid (e.g. 301) for choose which participant data should be processed
• Modify the timeZone variable to your local timezone

Info: More information on setting the timezone can be found here.

2. Run the code

Select all the code and run it using Ctrl + Enter.

3. Results

Based on the interpolation and spline cure fitting six plots are generated. For VO2, VCO2 and RER the generated curve and Bland-Altman figures are plotted and saved in each participant folder. Also, a CSV file to check the validity of the collected Jaeger data is generated and placed next to the plots.
