VO₂ max can be estimated by completing a cycle ergometer test to exhaustion.Calculate the estimated VO₂ max from a graded cycle ergometer test given the following information: Subjects age = 40 years old
Subjects body weight = 72 kilograms
Subjects maximal heart rate = 180 beats/min
Highest work rate achieved on cycle = 1000 kpm
VO₂ (ml^. min^-1) = (1.8 ml^.kpm^-1 X kpm^.min^-1 ) + (7ml^.kg^-1^.min^-1 X kg body weight)
Using the above information,the estimated VO₂ max (ml^. min^-1) would be:

VO₂ (ml^. min^-1)= (1.8 ml^.kpm^-1 X kpm^.min^-1 )+ (7ml^.kg^-1^.min^-1 X kg body weight) = (1.8 X 1000 X 6) + (7 X 72 X (180/60)) = 2304 ml^. min^-1. Therefore, the estimated VO₂ max would be 2304 ml^. min^-1.
