Step 1 of 2
The given subject is of age 50 years. If the formula 220 – age is used to estimate maximal heart rate (MHR), then the subject’s heart rate is 
For an MHR of 170, the estimated Met (metabolic equivalent) would be around 11.8. Since 1 MET = 3.5 ml/kg/min of O2 consumed during the work, 11.8 METS equal VO2 max of
