Question

PROBLEM 9 Lynn Aaron is cranking a Monark arm ergometer at 50 rpm with a resistance of 2.5 kg. This is her maximum workload. Her current body weight is 126 lb. Calculate the following: a. Relative $VO_2$ in ml/kg/min b. Absolute $VO_2$ in L/min c. MET level d. Kilocalories per minute e. Target $VO_2$ at 80\% $VO_{2R}$

Step 1

To calculate the relative VO2, we need to divide the absolute VO2 by the person's body weight in kilograms. However, we are not given the person's body weight in this question, so we cannot calculate the relative VO2. Show more…
