Lab Report #4 – Oxygen Consumption During Exercise
- Complete the graph below using the results from our VO2 max testing in class. Clearly mark testing measurements, speed, and grade of each test stage.
Lastly, using the data set correctly determine their Ventilatory Threshold (CO2 inflection point). (5 points)
(When working on this graph, make sure it all fits in one page)

| Grade |
- What is the participant’s maximal oxygen consumption, expressed relative to his/her body weight? (1 point)
- How would you classify this result comparing to those of similar age and gender? (1 point)
- At what percentage of VO2 is this person’s VT found? (burning more fats than carbs?) (1 point)
- What is her/his RQ at VT? (1 point)
- At what percentage of this person’s VO2 is he/she considered to be fully anaerobic (RQ +1.0 for more than 2 minute) (1 point)
- How long does this person “lasts” once this point is reached? (1 point)
- If you were this person’s coach, what would you be working on based on this test result? (2 points)
- (No right or wrong here, this is the topic for next) How would you go about changing/training what you have identified as a “need” above? (2 points)
