Domain 2: Exercise Prescription, Implementation, and Ongoing Support
What is Mr. McCain’s target VO2R if prescribing at 60% intensity level?
a. 29.4 mL/kg/min
b. 31.9 mL/kg/min
c. 28.7 mL/kg/min
d. 34.3 mL/kg/min
VO2R= VO2-3.5
Target VO2R = intensity(VO2R) +3.5
c. 28.7 mL/kg/min
VO2R = 45.5 - 3.5 = 42(0.60) = 25.2 + 3.5 = 28.7 mL/kg/min

How many kcals would Mr. MCain burn if exercising at the 60% VO2R for 30 min?
a. 90 kcal
b. 396 kcal
c. 454 kcal
d. 560 kcal
L/min = 60%VO2R(Kg)/1000mL
kcal/min = L/min (5 kcal)
kcal= kcal/min (min)
b. 396 kcal
(28.7)(92kg)/1000 = 2.64 L/min(5kcal) = 13.2 kcal/min(30 min) = 396 kcal
