Description

Lee et al reported a regression equation for estimating a patient's maximum oxygen uptake from the Specific Activity Scale class. The authors are from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.


 

NOTE: The Specific Activity Scale is discussed in 37.06.04.

 

predicted maximum oxygen uptake in mL per min per kg =
