Question

a- When a subjects maximum oxygen consumption is known, we can predict his maximal steady state running speed. estimate a runner's maxomal steady state speed for each of the following points: 40 ml.kg-1.min-1....46ml.kg-1.min-1...and 54 ml.kg-1.min-1

***I understand that you need the graph to answer the question but can I someone please point me in the right direction, not even sure where to start...thanks

fyi the graph has a strong, positive, linear relationship (if that helps)

Answer 1
