An individual is cycling at a load of 1.0 kg on a Monark cycle, pedaling at 80 RPM. This individual weighs 65 kg. What is the estimated VO2 of this individual? Walking: VO2 ml/kg/min = (0.1 • S) + (1.8 • S • G) + 3.5 Running: VO2 ml/kg/min = (0.2 • S) + (0.9 • S • G) + 3.5 Leg Ergometer: VO2 = 1.8 (Work rate / body weight in kg) + 7 Stepping: VO2 = (0.2 • f) + (1.33 • 1.8 • f • h) + 3.5

Step 1
0 kg on a Monark cycle. Work rate = Load (kg) x 9.81 (m/s^2) x distance (m) x 1/60 (to convert from RPM to seconds) Given that the load is 1.0 kg, the distance traveled in one revolution is the circumference of the pedal circle, which is approximately 2πr, where r Show more…

6. What is the mechanical work required for a 70 kg cyclist riding a 10 kg bike up to the top of a 800 m canyon? (2 points) The answer: 627.84 kJ 9. Using the values you have calculated for the cyclist in question 6, what is the average absolute VO2 (L/min) for the ride up the canyon if the bike ride took 55 min? (4 points) Show work.

Bill Shade's maximum workload while riding a Monark cycle ergometer at 60 rpm is 4 kg of resistance. His body weight is 195 lb. He cycled for 45 min. Calculate the following: Relative VO2 in ml/kg/min Absolute VO2 in L/min MET level Kilocalories per minute Total caloric expenditure
