During the test METS and l/min are continuously
counted and displayed.
Calculation
METS values are displayed and calculated from the
current workload. The t wo VO
2
values displayed
during the test continuously calculate the average
value for 5 seconds.
The formula used (values from ASTRAND original
table) to calculate VO
2
at different workloads is:
0.2333 ... l / kpm = 0.01428 L / W (2.8 l / min at 1200
kpm)
This is according to Astrand's table between 150 W
and 300 W, and a good approximation for 15-700 W
and a cadence of about 50-65 rpm.
