Case Study 2 - VO2 Reserve (VO2R) Susan H. is a 57-year-old woman who is very deconditioned. She is 5'5" tall (165 cm) and weights 187 lbs (85 kg). Her body mass index (BMI) is 31, which places her as obese. She is sedentary, has a family history of heart disease, and has an elevated resting blood pressure (146/92 mmHg). Because she recently complained of shortness of breath, her physician ordered a stress test. She performed the modified Bruce protocol and completed stage 1 (1.7 mph, 10% grade) with a maximal heart rate of 158 bpm and no indications of coronary ischemia. Her aerobic capacity was measured from the treadmill protocol as 5 METS (17.5 ml-min-kg). Starting at a light intensity (see p 146), calculate her target VO2R range. Also, convert the range to METS (divide by 3.5).
