Question

• 40 year old male
• resting heart rate 65 beats/minute
• maximal heart rate 195 beats/minute
• weight 180 pounds
• VO_2max55 ml/kg/min
• Treadmill speed = 3.8 mph
• Exercise prescription, 65% of VO_2max
• Vo2 ml/kg/min walking equation= 3.5 + (.1 x S) + [1.8*S* (grade/100)]

Part 1: What is his target VO2 level at 65% of his VO₂Ror using a VO2 Reservemethod? (relative)

Part 2: What is his absolute VO2 in L/Min from the previous question? Remember the steps to convert

Part 3: What MET Level does 80% of his VO₂Requate to?

Part 4: How steep would the treadmill grade need to be if he is walking at 3.5 mph at 65% of his VO₂Reserve (use the VO2 ml/kg/min answer from part 1 above)
