The Relation Between BMI and Aerobic Capacity Standards

Men: VO2max = 14 8 – (1 379 * T) + (0 451 * T2) – (0 012 * T3) Women: VO2max = 4 38 * T – 3 9 In both cases, “T” denotes the time in minutes spent on the treadmill Before the formula is used, it is important to remember that 10 minutes and 45 seconds would be expressed as 10 75 minutes

A Study of VO2max in Relation to Body Mass Index before and

VO2max is the accepted measure of cardiorespiratory effiency VO2max in normal active male is 38ml/kg/min and in normal active female is 29ml/kg/min Previous studies shows significant lower values of mean VO2max/kg/min in obese people Aims & Objective: To compare VO2max during tread mill exercise in young healthy adult male in relation

Maximal Aerobic Capacity (VO2max

Maximal Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) Fick Equation VO2 = HR x SV x a-vO2diff Absolute VO2 • The total volume of oxygen consumed • Expressed as L/min Relative VO2 • The total volume of oxygen consumed related to body

VO2max vs % Body fat CASE STUDY ON 4 SUBJECTS TO DETERMINE

analyzed in relation to VO2max The purpose of this study is to determine whether an individual’s body fat or dietary choice is a better indicator of their VO2max Oluwabunmi Fakilede , Nathan T Jenkins, James M Hagberg Department of Kinesiology, University of Maryland College Park School of Public Health, College Park, MD

Relationship between %HRmax, %HRR, %VO2max and %VO2R in elite

between HRmax and VO2max or VO2R are unsuited for elite cyclists Compared to VO2max, VO2R is a better predictor of HRR and this is in agreement with Swain et al (1997) Therefore, for training guidance, elite cyclists should use HRR in relation to VO2R References ACSM (1990) Med Sci Sports Exerc 22: 265-274 ACSM (1998)

VO2 Estimation Method Based on Heart Rate Measurement

Figure 4 VO2max as a function of respiration rate and HRmax during three typical exercise phases: A) steady state, B) on-response and C) off-response Exercise phases sug- gested by the index characterizing the on/off-dynamics The accuracy of the estimates was evaluated using a whole dataset by mean ab-
