Step 1 of 3
The following is the data provided for a 50 year old man:
Work rate in MET (metabolic equivalents): 3, 5, and 7
Heart rate for the given METs (beats/min): 110, 125, and 140
The measured heart rate of 140 indicates that the test is stopped at 80% of maximal heart rate. The given data is plotted on a graph with MET on x- axis and heart rate on y-axis. The graph obtained is extrapolated to 175 beats/ min to calculate the VO2 max.
