Suppose during a treadmill test a well-trained athlete was running 9 mph with a VO2 of 3.89 L/min and a VCO2 of 3.20. Calculate RER at this intensity and use the table below to calculate kcals expended per minute and total caloric expenditure for a 60-minute exercise session. Also note what fuel source would be most prominent based on the RER table data. My recommendation is to report in the following forms: RER to 2 decimals, caloric equivalent to 3 decimals, kcals/min to 1 decimal, and total kcals to nearest whole number. Caloric Equivalents for Various Nonprotein Respiratory Exchange Ratios RER Kcals/L Fat (%) Carb (%) RER Kcals/L Fat (%) Carb (%) 1.00 5.047 0 100 .84 4.850 55 45 .98 5.022 7 93 .82 4.825 61 39 .96 4.998 14 86 .80 4.801 68 32 .94 4.973 21 79 .78 4.776 75 25 .92 4.948 27 73 .76 4.751 82 18 .90 4.924 34 66 .74 4.727 89 11 .88 4.899 41 59 .72 4.702 96 4 .86 4.875 48 52 .70 4.686 100 0
