Question

Table 3. Model for oxygen consumption at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VO VAT) prediction from pelvic floor muscles (PFM) strength and age. Variable Coefficient Standard error P value Constant PFM strength (by perineometer, cmH20) Age (years) 12.248 0.0441 -0.0252 1.068 0.0123 0.019 <0.001 0.001 0.16 Reference equation: VO VAT(mL. kg min ") = 12.248 + (0.0441 x PFM strength) - (0.0252 x Age). Estimated error: 1.916. R?=0.32 (RP-equation power). a. Given these results, describe the relationship between PFM strength and aerobic capacity (measured by VO VAT). b. Given two women with the same PFM strength, how would you expect a 35 year- old woman's VO, VAT level to compare to a 34 year old's? C. The mean age reported in the study was 35 and mean PFM function was 53.1 cmH20. What VO VAT level does the model predict for the "average" participant?

Answer 1

Ams! Qulven, referente equation VQVAT = 12.248 +(0.0441X PEM strength) - (0:0252x nge) ca) for every additional increment in PEM strength, the VOVAT aerobic capacity is going to increase by 4.41% of that ingenrent if we keep the age constetot, (6-) Let thely PEM strength be a then, I woman VOYAT vond woman VOYAT 12:246 + 0.04410 - 0.0252 %.35 120248 + 0104412 - 0:6252 x 34 The vo VAT level of a 34 year old exceeds the vo VAT of a 35 year old by 0.0252 . 10-) Mean Age = 35 Meom PEM: 53.1 i The VQVAT level the model predict for the averoge participant = 12248 +0.0441 X 53.1 0.0252 X 35 12.248 +8.34171 - 0.882 13.70771 cs Scanned with can ner
