A 25-year-old female is running at 5.5 MPH at a 3% grade for 30 minutes. This female weighs 65 kg, has a resting heart rate of 70, and a resting blood pressure of 120/80. Based on this information, calculate the following: (Provide only your final answers) a) Relative VO2 she is working at b) Absolute VO2 she is working at c) MET level d) Kcals/min e) Total Energy Expenditure

Step 1
14 ml/kg/min % intensity = (speed x grade x 1.8) + 3.5 % intensity = (5.5 x 3 x 1.8) + 3.5 = 30.7% Resting VO2 = 3.5 ml/kg/min Relative VO2 = (41.14 x 0.307) + 3.5 = 16.08 ml/kg/min Show more…

A 30-year-old subject has a VO2max of 50 ml/kg/min. This individual weighs 68 kg, has a RHR of 60 BPM, and a resting BP of 120/80. This subject wants to work at 50% of VO2 reserve (Karvonen model). a) What is her VO2 at this intensity using the Karvonen model? b) What speed would the subject have to run at on a flat treadmill to elicit that VO2 response? (in MPH) c) How many calories would she burn in 40 minutes?

"Problem 2.4: A senior citizen walks 0.30 km in 10 mins, going around shopping mall: (a) What is her average speed in meters per second? (b) If she wants to increase her average speed by 20% when walking second lap, what would her travel time in minutes have to be? Problem 2.6: A hospital nurse walks 25 m to a patient's room at the end of the hall in 0.50 mins_ She talks with the patient for 4.0 mins, and then walks back to the nursing station at the same rate she came. What was the nurse'$ average speed?"
