The 31 year old woman swimmer has decided to train for an upcoming triathlon. She has asked you to help her improve the areas of the triathlon where she is weakest (running and biking) 5’1”, 125lb, 19% bf. Blood pressure 114/75. Resting HR 57. Estimated Vo2 max (12 min run test) 49 mL/kg/min
4. Determine her running speed at the same incline if she were to exercise at 77% of her VO2 reserve?
VO2max is the maximum oxygen uptake of a person, which is a good indication of a person's aerobic capacity. VO2 reserve is the increment in oxygen consumption a person can achieve during exercise, so VO2max - VO2rest. The average sedentary female scores approximately 27 to 30 mL/kg/min. Elite female runners have scored up to 77 mL/kg/min.
This was calculated using the following equation:
50%VO2 = (VO2max – 3.5mL/kg/min)

Your client, Peyton, is a 55-year old man who is interested in becoming more active. His current resting heart rate is 68 bpm. You perform a multi-stage submaximal treadmill test to assess his fitness, with the following results: Stage 1: Speed: 2.4 mph Grade: 5% Heart Rate: 120 bpm Stage 2: Speed: 3.0 mph Grade: 5% Heart Rate: 133 bpm Based on these test results, what is Peyton’s relative VO2max in each unit: A. _____________ml/kg/min ____________METS Based on these...
