Table 2 Method for calculating target VO2 and exercise time [21]

From: The effect of exercise intensity on brain derived neurotrophic factor and memory in adolescents

(VO2max - VO2rest) x (intensity) + VO2rest = Target VO2

 

(Target VO2 × body weight in kg) / 200 = ( )Kcal/min

 

200 kcal / ( )kcal/min = Exercise time

 
  1. example: VO2max: 20, VO2rest: 2.0, weight 65 kg, intensity 60%
  2. (20–2) × 0.6 + 2.0 = 12.8, (12.8 × 65)/200 = 4.16, 200/4.16 = 48.08
