Dawn is a 25-year-old woman who weighs 55 kg. She did the 1.5-Mile Run Test in 18.4 minutes. Estimate her VO2max in units of mL/kg/min.

Solution

55kg = 121.254 pounds

gender = female

VO2max (ml.kg-1.min-1) = 88.02 + (3.716 * gender)
                                             - (0.0753 * body weight in pounds)
                                             - (2.767 * time for 1.5 miles in minutes and fractions of minutes)

Where gender = 1 for males and 0 for females.

VO2max (ml.kg-1.min-1) = 88.02 + (3.716*0) - (0.0753 *121.254) - (2.767 *18.4)

                                          = 88.02 - 9.1304262 - 50.9128

                                          = 27.9767738
