Question
  1. Use the metabolic equation for cycling and the kcal conversion factors to answer the following questions:

 

  • Tom is a 100 kg and cycles at 50 rpm with a resistance of 2 kg. What is his relative VO2?

 

 

  • What would be the relative VO2 for the same resistance and speed if the cycling was performed by Tammy, who weighs 50 kg?

 

 

  • Assuming Tom and Tammy both cycled for 10 minutes, calculate the amount of energy transferred by each during their bout of cycling?
