Retrieve conversion factors from kilocalories to oxygen consumption
get_kcal_vo2_conversion(RER, kcal_table = c("Lusk", "Peronnet", "both"))
numeric vector giving the conversion factor from the specified table(s)
numeric. The respiratory exchange ratio
The table to reference for converting kilocalories to
oxygen consumption. See get_kcal_vo2_conversion
RER values are matched to the table entries based on the minimum absolute difference. If there is a tie, the lower RER is taken.
