Instructions: After you have completed the course materials for metabolic equations and prescribing exercise intensity, answer each of the following questions. Show all of your work (typed). Submit your completed assignment to the appropriate dropbox on CougarView.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Client #1
- A 40-year-old male and weighs 205lb. What is his VO2 while cycling on a leg ergometer at 250Watts?
- What is the VO2 in absolute terms from #1?
- What is the METs level achieved at the VO2 from #1?
- If the client rides the cycle ergometer 20 minutes, 5 times per week at the same work rate, what would be his energy expenditure for the week (i.e. kcal/wk)?
- What is the target heart rate if the male wants to achieve 60% of heart rate reserve with a resting heart rate of 70bpm?
Client #2
- For a 56-year-old, 150lb female, what is the VO2 of walking on the treadmill at 2.5 mph/6% grade.
- If the maximal VO2 for this female is 35mL/kg/min, what percent of VO2 is this client working at?
- What is the METs level achieved at the VO2 from #1?
- Calculate the rate of energy expenditure for a performing treadmill walking from #1.
- If the client wants to lose 3lb (1lb =3500kcal), how long would she need to exercise (i.e. minutes of walking) at this VO2?
