Neder et al reported an equation for estimating oxygen consumption during cycle ergometry in adults. The authors are from Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo - Escola Paulista de Medicina and the University of London.
Patient selection: adult from 20 to 80 years of age
Exercise: stationary cycle ergometry
Parameters:
(1) mass of the legs in kilograms
(2) work rate in Watts (at 60 rpm)
VO2 in mL per minute =
= (10.6 * (work rate)) + (16.8 * (leg mass in kilograms)) + 75
