1. Calculate the NET VO2 for someone walking on a treadmill at
3.5 mph and a 12% grade.
What is 80% of this person's VO2reserve?
2. What is the predicted VO2 for 62 kg man cycling at a
resistance of 147 watts. You must show all your work for full
credit.
3. Why do exercise scientist have objective criteria to see
whether a true VO2 max was reached? List/name at least 4 of the
criteria that must be met for...
1. Calculate the MET cost of walking on the treadmill at 2.5
mph/6% grade The answer is broken down in front of me but I’m not
sure how they got some of the numbers and may need it broken down
further, the first step of the answer says: 2.5 mph x 26.8 m.min -1
per mph= 67.0 m.min-1 and I’m not sure where the 26.8 came from.
Thanks!
A drunk man walking simulation
A drunk man stands at origin. There is a cliff at x=10 and home at
x=-10. He takes steps randomly left and right. Each step has the
probability p of going left and q=1−p of going right.
We desire to simulate and plot 100 random trajectories for the
interval of 100 time instants. Once hit at home or cliff, a
trajectory is stopped immediately and success or dead is declared.
Otherwise, alive is declared. Obtain...
Medical researchers conducted a study to determine whether
treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients
suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient
blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of patients walked
on the treadmill every day and after six months the mean walking
distance was measured. A control group of patients that did not
walk on the treadmill were also measured for mean walking distance.
The data for each group is as...
Medical researchers conducted a study to determine whether
treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients
suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient
blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A random sample of 48
patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six
months, the sample mean distance walked in six minutes was 348
meters, with a sample standard deviation of 80 meters. For a
control group of 46 patients who did...
A 1000-ft vertical curve connects a -1% grade to a -3.5% grade.
If the vertical tangents intersect at sta. 38+60.24 and elevation
1,400.13 ft, develop an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the
elevations of the grade line at each station from sta. 31+00 to
45+00. Include the elevations of the PVC and PVT.
A vertical curve is designed for 75 km/h and has an initial
grade of + 3.5% and a final grade of -2.0%. The PVT is at station 3
+ 560. It is known that a point on the curve at station 3 + 520 is
at elevation 85 m. What is the stationing and elevation of the PVC?
What is the stationing and elevation of the high point on the
curve?
Michigan Timber uses a joint process to manufacture two grades of wood: A and B. During October 2010, the company incurred $12,000,000 of joint production cost in producing 18,000,000 board feet of Grade A and 6,000,000 board feet of Grade B lumber. Th e company allocates joint cost on the basis of board feet of lumber produced. Th e company can sell Grade A lumber at the split-off point for $0.80 per board foot. Alternatively, Grade A lumber can be...
