Document Summary
If you have vo2 reserve you also have met reserve just need to. Target vo2 = (vo2 reserve) (exercise intensity as a fraction) + Target mets = (met reserve) (exercise intensity as a fraction) + Target vo2= (33. 5) (. 50) + 3. 5 = 20. 25. Target vo2= (33. 5) (. 85) + 3. 5 = 31. 98. Most exercise equipment has a met button rather than a vo2 range. Do not have to do all of the work on the right (finding mets) Once you find target vo2 you can divide 3. 5 for both numbers and you get the target met answers. It is reversible (if you have relative you can figure out mets and same for opposite way) Problem- not going to be able to figure out both the speed and the grade. This is where exercise prescription can be artful. Can do a few trial and errors- try dif speeds or inclines. Able to try and solve for unknown variable.
