Question

A new client performs the Rockport walk test and scores in the ""good"" category of cardiovascular fitness. Up to what percentage of maximal heart rate should this client train?

Answer 1

0.85

Explanation:

The correct answer is: 0.85 that is 85%

This test can determine your cardiovascular fitness by performing a one mile walk as fast as the individual can. Once the mile is completed, heart rate is taken.

The formula used to calculate VO2max is:

132.853 - (0.0769 × Weight) - (0.3877 × Age) + (6.315 × Gender) - (3.2649 × Time) - (0.1565 × Heart rate)

Weight is in pounds (lbs)

Gender Male = 1 and Female = 0

Time is expressed in minutes and 100ths of minutes

Heart rate is in beats/minute

Age is in years
