ACSM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) — Question 15

Which of the following is the correct energy expenditure in METs associated with an exercise oxygen uptake of 28 ml·kg-1·min-1?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 98
• D. 112

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as METs are calculated by dividing the oxygen uptake by 3.5 ml·kg-1·min-1, which in this case results in 8. The other options, B (10), C (98), and D (112), do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given oxygen uptake.
