Roza and Shizgal reported equations for estimating the resting oxygen consumption of an adult. The authors are from McGill University and the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal.
Parameters:
(1) weight in kilograms
(2) height in centimeters
(3) age in years
(4) gender
resting oxygen consumption in mL per min for a male =
= (0.687 * (height in cm)) + (1.929 * (weight in kg)) - (0.802 * (age in years)) + 12.04
resting oxygen consumption in mL per min for a female =
= (0.457 * (height in cm)) + (1.318 * (weight in kg)) - (0.621 * (age in years)) + 63.23
