LAB 6 QUIZ Flashcards
1
Q
what is maximal testing?
A
tests for VO2max: max amount of O2 that can be consumed per unit of time
subject must exercise until exhaustion
2
Q
what is absolute VO2?
A
VO2max in L/min (more relevant in weight-supported activities)
3
Q
what is relative VO2?
A
VO2max mL/kg/min (more relevant in weight-bearing activities)
4
Q
when are sub-maximal tests terminated?
A
85% of age-predicted HRmax
5
Q
what are the 2 methods used to predict VO2max?
A
- multi-stage (step test, cycle ergometer)
2. single-stage
6
Q
what is steady state HR?
A
HR does not vary by more than 5 bpm between two readings
7
Q
what is the VO2 conversion for relative to absolute?
A
x(body mass kg/ 1000ml)
8
Q
what is the VO2 conversion for absolute to relative?
A
x(1000ml/body mass kg)
9
Q
what is submaximal testing?
A
predictive test for VO2max
