   At their Ventilatory Threshold

2. Calculate the MET max for each subject.

Answer 1

1 MET =3.5 ml of O2 consumed/kg/min

Person 1----

3.5 L of O2/min=3500 ml of O2/min

Per kg = 3500/100=35 ml of O2/kg/min

It is equal to 10 MET.

Person 2 ----

3600 ml/min

Per kg = 3600/57 = 63.16 ml/kg/min

In MET =63.16/3 =21.05 MET

Person 3----

6100 ml/min

Per kg =6100/70= 87.14 ml/kg/min

In MET= 87.14/3 = 29.05 MET
