Step 7: Use equation 11.2 to convert the client’s body weight in pounds to kilograms. pounds (lb) ÷ 2.2046 = kilograms (kg) (11.2) body weight (lb) = 181 lb 181 lb 2.2046 = kilograms (kg) body weight (kg) = 82 kg Step 8: Use equation 11.6 (from [2]) to determine the predicted VO2 max score in ml . kg-1 . min-1. VO2 max (ml . kg-1 . min-1) = [(10.8 x W) BW] + 7 ÷ (11.6) from step 6‚ predicted maximal work rate (W) = 192 W body (kg) = 82 kg VO2
