15-seconds pulse count: 21 beats

1. Convert your 15-second pulse count to a value for recovery heart rate by multiplying by 4 a. Recovery heart rate: 21 x 4 = 84 beats per minute 2. Insert your recovery heart rate in the equation below, a. Males: VO2max= 111.33 – (0.42 x 84) = 76.05 ml/kg/min Discussion Questions 1. VO2max

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Rating 3-minutes step test 76.05ml/kg/min Superior 2. I scored in the superior category according to the cardiorespiratory rating table. This does not surprise me as I am constantly walking everywhere and playing basketball recreationally. I think my scores would be relatively the same if I performed the other tests 3. 9.99 x Weight (kg) + 6.25 x Height (cm) – 4.92 x age + 5 = Resting Metabolic Rate a. 9.99 x 62.1422 kg + 6.25 x 177.8 cm – 4.92 x 18 +5 = 1648.49

Resting Metabolic Rate x Physical Activity Factor = Total Energy Expenditure b. 1648.49 x 1.375 = 2266.67375 My total energy expenditure was rational and understandable. As stated before I play basketball recreationally, so my physical activity factor was only 1.375. A limitation of using this method to estimate my total energy expenditure could be me messing up the number of pulses right after the step test. I also estimated my weight and height based on my last time on a scale and my last time at the doctor, which could be a limitation in finding my resting metabolic rate. Finally, a strength in using this method is that it gives a close estimate. 4.

a. I consumed too much sodium, cholesterol, and I did not reach my recommended calorie goal. Consuming excessive amounts of sodium over the course of a year will cause an increase in high blood pressure, which can have a negative impact on both blood vessels and kidneys. Consuming excessive amounts of cholesterol

will start a clog up of cholesterol in arteries. This can lead to various heart and blood flow problems. Finally, I did not reach my calorie goal by 865 calories. Not reaching this goal would be an issue if I was trying to gain weight, but overall it is not detrimental to my health. Being that I am on a busy campus, I should consume more calories to stay energized. b. My diet matched the guidelines posted and contained 55% of calories from carbohydrates, 27% of calories from fat, and 18% of calories from protein. c. 1.0 grams x 62.1422 kg = Recreational Athlete 62.1422 g = Recreational Athlete I surpassed this need by about 18 grams of protein....
