1. Meredith is walking on a treadmill at 0% grade. Given that her VO2 is 0.52 L/min and her

weight is 65 kg, find speed in m/min and in mph.

Answer :

Given :

Grade , G = 0 % .

[tex]VO_2=52\ L/min[/tex] .

Weight , W = 65 kg .

To Find :

Speed in m/min.

Solution :

[tex]VO_2[/tex] is given by :

[tex]VO_2=3.5+[v( in \ m/min)\times 0.2]+(Grade\times v \times 0.9 )\\\\52=3.5+(v\times 0.2)+0\\ \\v=\dfrac{52-3.5}{0.2}\ m/min\\\\v=242.5\ m/min[/tex]

Therefore , the speed is 242.5 m/min .

Hence , this is the required solution .
