The Hounsfield unit (HU) scale is a linear transformation of the original linear attenuation coefficient measurement into one in which the radiodensity of distilled water at standard pressure and temperature (STP) is defined as zero Hounsfield units (HU), while the radiodensity of air at STP is defined as -1000 HU.he Hounsfield scale /ËhaÊnzËfiËld/ or CT numbers, named after Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, is a quantitative scale for describing radiodensity.
Redefine Cardio â Make traditional strength training your bread and butter and end with cardio. Close out a 40-minute workout session with 5 to 10 minutes of post-workout anaerobic conditioning. For example, consider 30-second sprints on the bike followed by a minute of rest. Repeat three times and youâre done.
A calorie calculator from the American Council on Exercise determines that for a 180 pound person, a typical normal intensity weight training session burns 205 calories per hour. Calorie burning effects from weight training can last up to 24 hours post-workout by boosting the bodyâs Basal Metabolic Rate, which will burn calories throughout the day, even when sitting or sleeping.
