If Carla (63 kg) wants to burn 250 kcals by cycling 80 rpm’s against 1.5 kp of resistance, how long will she need to cycle? According to MET values would this be a Light, Moderate, or Hard activity?

![CYCLE EXAMPLES
Cycle ergometry problems always assume using a standard
Monark cycle with 6m/rev flywheel and MUST specify the
weight of the subject
300 kpm/min; 70 kg subject
VO2 = 3.5 ml/kg/min*70kg +0+ 2.0ml/kpm * 300 kpm/min
= 245 ml/min + 600 ml/min
=
845 ml/min (absolute terms) or 845/70kg = 12.07
ml/kg/min (relative terms)
100 Watts; 50 kg subject
*
VO2 = 3.5 ml/kg/min*50kg + 0 + (2.0ml/kpm * 100 Watts 6
kpm/min/Watt)
=
= 175 ml/min + 1200 ml/min
=
1375 ml/min (absolute terms) or 1375/50kg = 27.5
