Concept explainers
Aerobic Power Aerobic power can be thought of as the maximum oxygen consumption attainable per kilogram of body mass. There are a number of ways in which physical educators estimate this. One method uses the Queens College Step Test. In this test, males step up and down a 16-inch bleacher step 24 times per minute for 3 minutes, and females do 22 steps per minute for 3 minutes. Five seconds after the exercise is complete, a 15-second pulse count
For females, the recommended formula is
a. Calculate the maximum oxygen consumption for both a male and a female who show a 15-second pulse count of 40.
b. What 15-second pulse count for a male will indicate a maximum oxygen consumption of 35.7 milliliters per kilogram?
c. What 15-second pulse count will indicate the same maximum oxygen consumption for a male as for a female?
d. What maximum oxygen consumption is associated with your answer in part c?

- Baling Hay In the first two trips baling hay around a large field, a farmer obtains 123 bales and 112 bales, respectively. Each round gets shorter, so the farmer estimates that the same pattern will continue. Estimate the total number of bales made after the farmer takes another six trips around the field.arrow_forwardHeart Rate Kevin wants to keep his heart rate at 160 beats per minute while training.
