Dr. Cox (175 lbs) achieves 15 METS on a cycle ergometer VO2max test. If his exercise plan is to work at 70% of his max, at 75 rev/min, where should he set the resistance on his cycle ergometer?

Step 1
First, we need to find Dr. Cox's VO2max in ml/kg/min. We know that 1 MET is equal to 3.5 ml/kg/min. So, 15 METS would be: 15 METS * 3.5 ml/kg/min = 52.5 ml/kg/min Show more…
