Phoebe 60kg is walking on a treadmill at 0 grade given that

Phoebe (60kg) is walking on a treadmill at 0% grade. given that her V0₂ is .52 L of 0₂/min, find her speed in m/min.

Solution

Solution

Here,

VO2 = 0.52*1000/60 ml kg^-1 min^-1 = 8.67 ml kg^-1 min^-1

We have aerobic formula as,

VO2 = (v*0.1)+(v*1.8*%grade)+3.5

or, 8.67= (v*0.1)+ 0 +3.5

or Phoebe\'s speed, v= (8.67-3.5)/0.1 = 51 m min^-1
