Question

1) Dawn is a 25-year-old woman who weighs 58 kg. She did the 1.5-Mile Run Test in 12 minutes. Estimate her VO2max in units of mL/kg/min.

2) According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there are approximately 17.7 million adults (age 18+) living in Texas, of which 1.99 million have diabetes. In 2010, 28 adult Texans were diagnosed with diabetes for the first time. What is the prevalence of diabetes in Texas? Express your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

1)

58kg =58*2.20462= 127.868 pounds

gender = female

VO2max (ml.kg-1.min-1) = 88.02 + (3.716 * gender)
                                             - (0.0753 * body weight in pounds)
                                             - (2.767 * time for 1.5 miles in minutes and fractions of minutes)

Where gender = 1 for males and 0 for females.

VO2max (ml.kg-1.min-1) = 88.02 + (3.716*0) - (0.0753 *127.868) - (2.767 *12) = 45.1875
