Question

Jacob is a 36-year-old male interested in starting an exercise program. He is not currently exercising but has recognized that his weight has started to increase due to the many hours spent sitting for work. Jacob would like to start a moderate-intensity exercise program focused around losing weight and improving his health. All participants of your exercise facility must have an initial exercise test and you are the Health Fitness Specialist performing the tests. Jacob says he used to smoke, but quit 4-months, when his father passed away at 70-years-of-age due to lung cancer. His mother is in good health, but is pre-diabetic. On today’s visit, Jacob’s resting heart rate (HR) was 76 bpm and his resting blood pressure (BP) was 132/76 mmHg. He weighs 195 lbs. and is 5’ 10” tall. His fasting blood results were measured on two separate occasions and are as follows: total cholesterol = 183 mg/dL; HDL = 48 mg/dL; LDL = 126 mg/dL; fasting glucose = 132 mg/dL. A maximal graded exercise test was performed with Jacob using an individualized treadmill protocol. The results of the exercise test are as follows: Question: What were Jacob’s METs and O2 cost at the last stage of exercise (i.e., when you stopped the test)?
