3. All three subjects attained their oxygen consumption (VO2) max. Each subject was able to pass 3 criteria to attain a VO2 max. To begin with subject 1 attained their VO2 max because the individual respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was greater than 1.15. As shown in table 1, the subject’s max RER is 1.2, which is greater than 1.15. Also, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was greater 17, as shown in table 1 the subject’s RPE is 20. Finally, the post VO2 max blood lactate level was 15.2, the…

Maximal Oxygen Consumption; also known as VO2max, is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken in and used by the body every minute during intense exercise (2). It is measured in mL/kg/min, defined as the milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute. VO2max is generally measured by using a maximal exercise test to physical voluntary exhaustion where speed or power are increased consistently, requiring more oxygen uptake each phase. (1) Exercise intensities are…

Alternate Fitness Report (FITREP) Manager is a critical element of which, I believe, can be tied with Critical Element 1. Being that there are only 9 Domain Officers that CSS HQ does FITREPs for, the Primary FITREP Manager handles them nearly 100% of the time. In her absence I absolutely assist with FITREPs, but that need rarely arises. Standing by, at the ready, as always! As the Domain NFAAS Coordinator, I have flawlessly conducted two semi-annual information verification taskers. 100%…

Discussion VO2 max can be measured a variety of ways. There are many laboratory and/or field tests that could be completed by subjects to determine their VO2 max. According to McArdle (2015) “..usual activity modes include treadmill running or walking, bench stepping, and stationary cycling. In accord with exercise test and training specificity, other forms of testing employ free tethered, and flume swimming, swim-bench ergometry, in-line skating, roller skiing, simulated arm-leg climbing,…

To begin with, this fitness advertisement evokes the feeling of guilt for the viewer, hence provoking a belief or feeling of unconfidence within themselves or their bodies.
