Lab Report: The Rockport Walk Test
Introduction:
VO2 Max test is one way of determining an individual’s maximal aerobic power or maximal aerobic capacity is by measuring the maximal amount of oxygen that an individual can consume per minute (Gary Kamen). ... VO2 Max can also be calculated in milliliter/kilogram/minute (ml/kg/min), which is more effective way of measurement. VO2 Max is different for different athlete as it is depended on the muscular demand of the sport. VO2 Max can be increased with the help of aerobic exercises.
Since VO2 Max is an expensive process, scientists have developed an easier, inexpensive and relatively accurate way of measuring the maximal amount of oxygen that an individual can consume per minute. ... Choose a day where you comfortable walking fast, record your weight, walk one-quarter of a mile as fast as possible, record the time of the one/half mile walk, and record your heart beat to determine the VO2 Max using the equation describe below.
