16
Q

What are the secondary criteria for determining whether VO2max was achieved?

A
  • HRmax during the test is either less than 10bpm or +/- 5% of the theoretical HRmax of the subject
  • RER > 1.15
  • RPE of > 19
  • Blood lactate concentration of >8mmol/L
17
Q

How do you calculate RER?

A

VCO2/VO2

18
Q

How do you calculate predicted HRmax?

A

208 - (0.7 x age)

19
Q

What is VO2max?

A

The maximal amount of oxygen that can be delivered and extracted by the body per unit of time

20
Q

What is uncorrected VO2max?

A

A person’s predicted VO2max before it is corrected for their age

21
Q

What does heart rate reserve represent?

A

The range between HRrest and HRmax

22
Q

How do you calculate %maximal heart rate?

A

HRmax x intensity

23
Q

How do you calculate heart rate reserve?

A

HRmax - HRrest

24
Q

How do you calculate %HRRzone?

A

HRrest + (HRR x intensity)

25
Q

What does the astrand-rhyming test predict?

A

VO2max

26
Q

What does the PWC170 test predict?

A

Cardiorespiratory exercise performance

27
Q

What is absolute PWC170?

A

The predicted wattage that can individual can work at to obtain a HR of 170bpm

28
Q

What is relative PWC170?

A

The predicted wattage per kilogram of body mass the participant will produce at HR of 170bpm

29
Q

Why do we not go above 170 in the PWC170 test?

A

Start to lose the linear relationship between HR and power
