Holly weighs 67 kg and has an estimated absolute VO2max of 1.9 liters of oxygen per minute from data obtained during her YMCA cycle ergometer test. What is her estimated VO2max in METS?

Step 1
To do this, we divide the absolute VO2max by Holly's body weight in kilograms: Absolute VO2max (ml/kg/min) = Absolute VO2max (liters/min) / Body weight (kg) Absolute VO2max (ml/kg/min) = 1.9 liters/min / 67 kg Show more…
