  1. You conducted the YMCA cycle ergometer submaximal test on Katherine (45 years old). Her exercise HR at the end of stage 1 was 108 bpm. She completed two additional stages with an exercise HR at the end of stage 2 of 133 bpm and stage 3 of 149 bpm. Estimate her maximum HR and 85% of estimated HRmax. Identify her work rate for stages 2 and 3 below with the appropriate units. Then, plot the appropriate HR values in the graph below and determine her estimated maximum work rate and VO2max. Finally, convert the estimated absolute VO2max identified from the graph to relative VO2.

Estimated HRmax: ________________

85% of Estimated HRmax: ________________

Stage 2 work rate: ________________

Stage 3 work rate: ________________

Estimated maximum work rate: ________________

Estimated absolute VO2max: __________________

Estimated relative VO2max: __________________
