3. Carla (200 lbs) is a 27-year-old female that decides to start a fitness program. She decides to walk on a treadmill at an average pace of 3.3 mph and an incline of 10%. Use the ACSM metabolic equation for walking.
- Calculate the GROSS oxygen cost (ml/kg/min) (2 points)
- How would you classify her CRF at this stage? Is this her VO2max? Why or why not? (2 points)
4. Greg Lemond-a world level professional cyclist- cycles on a Monark ergometer at a pedal cadence of 80 RPM and a resistance setting of 5 kg. He weighs 70 kg.
- What is his power output/work rate (kpm/min)? (1 point)
- Using the ACSM metabolic equation, calculate Lemond’s predicted GROSS oxygen cost (ml/kg/min) for this work rate (2 points).
- Convert this oxygen cost to METs (1 point)
5.) What is the predicted relative VO2 for a 225 lbs man cycling at a resistance of 98 watts (2 points
