What's the difference between caloric and isodynamic?
Caloric
Definition:
(n.) The principle of heat, or the agent to which the phenomena of heat and combustion were formerly ascribed; -- not now used in scientific nomenclature, but sometimes used as a general term for heat.
(a.) Of or pertaining to caloric.
Example Sentences:

(6) These results suggest that weight change during smoking reduction and cessation may be primarily due to changes in factors other than caloric intake or activity.
(7) A sustained decrement in RMR accompanied weight loss and persisted for greater than or equal to 8 wk despite increased caloric consumption and body weight stabilization.
(8) Analysis of caloric components (fat, protein and carbohydrates) reveals that carbohydrates are the most important factor driving the total energy effect.
(9) The rationale for the use of exercise as part of the treatment program in type II diabetes is much clearer and regular exercise may be prescribed as an adjunct to caloric restriction for weight reduction and as a means of improving insulin sensitivity in the obese, insulin-resistant individual.
(10) At the end of the 18 day period, body weight, daily caloric intake, basal plasma glucose and insulin levels in the milk-fed rats were similar to those in the control rats.
(11) Patients under caloric restriction showed a reduction in their total triglyceride content, a reduction in their content of unsaturated fatty acyl groups, and a relative increase in phospholipid content.
(12) In the external ear canal, residual water from caloric testing or any other irrigation may act to simulate a conductive hearing loss and interfere with subsequent auditory brainstem response recording leading to increased latencies and reduced amplitudes.
(13) The changes in protein, fat and carbohydrate intermediates, as well as the alteration in hormone concentrations, suggest the following endocrine governance of fuel economy in this setting: a sharp rise in glucagon with maintenance of insulin concentration; rapid gluconeogenesis at the expense of both injected and endogenous amino acids; a progressive ketosis without any associated improvement in protein economy; fat oxidation to meet caloric need.
(14) Corticosteroids have been shown to increase appetite for a brief period of time, but they do not appear to improve caloric intake or nutritional status.
(15) The effect of 30% caloric restriction on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats.
(16) To reduce body weight and blood pressure, a reduction of alcohol consumption should be recommended in addition to reduced caloric intake and increased physical activity as means of preventive neurology.
(17) A difference was noted in the caloric intake of the two groups.
(18) Reduced caloric intake, a hallmark of both disorders, is manifested by self-induced starvation in anorexia and by binge eating and gastrointestinal purging in bulimia.
(19) Thirty-one children (82%) had ENG pathology of the central type and 12 (44%) of the 27 successfully studied had pathological caloric reactions.
(20) TPN was prescribed on an individual basis in all study patients to cover 150% of their measured caloric need; nitrogen was given as 0.2 g N kg-1 day.
Isodynamic
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, having, or denoting, equality of force.
Example Sentences:
(1) The effects of isodynamic fatiguing of flexion and extension trunk movements on the movement patterns and the motor output of the trunk were investigated.
(2) The rate-pressure product is not a valid index of ST response during isodynamic exercise in stable exercise-trained cardiac patients.
(3) This effect is least when uncoupling is at site 1 and is associated with a fall in the isodynamic equivalent for protein:glucose of 4% maximally, and a fall in the cytoplasmic ATP yield for glucose of 25% (15-30%) when accounting for uncertainty in the choice of proton stoichiometries).
(4) Objective parameters using computerized triaxial measurements of range of motion, isometric torque, and isodynamic velocity were also performed before and after treatment.
(5) Among congeners of tolbutamide, unlabelled carbutamide and chlorpropamide in isodynamic concentrations, as well as diazoxide in an exactly antagonistic amount, behave like tolbutamide 5 X 10(-5) M itselt by cancelling cooperativity when added to the labelled drug.
(6) ST-segment depression was measured during submaximal dynamic (treadmill) and combined isometric-dynamic (isodynamic) exercise at comparable rate-pressure products in 11 patients (mean age 63 years) with stable coronary artery disease who were participating in an exercise training program.
(7) Attenuation of ST depression during isodynamic exercise may be attributed to a combination of increased diastolic perfusion pressure, decreased heart rate and possibly to reductions in venous return and ventricular diastolic wall tension due to increased intrathoracic and abdominal pressure.
(8) During isodynamic exercise trials 2 and 3, subjects showed only minimal ST depression (mean 0.4 mm) at a rate-pressure product similar to dynamic exercise (mean 18,590).
(9) The effects of uncoupling by each mechanism on the isodynamic equivalents of carbohydrate, fat and protein at the level of cytoplasmic ATP yield have been estimated.
(10) A new triaxial dynamometer to quantify the performance of trunk muscles has been developed, and a study was conducted to determine the best control parameters to use with this triaxial isodynamic mode of testing.
(11) During trials 2 and 3, patients performed (in random order) dynamic treadmill exercise and isodynamic exercise (treadmill walking 1.5 to 2.0 mph carrying 15 to 25 kg) until threshold rate-pressure product was achieved.
