The relationships of the various physiological work parameters have been evaluated as predictors of submaximal Vo2. Although the correlation coefficients between heart rate and Vo2 ml/kg per min were fair, the best relationships were observed between Ve l/min and Vo2 l/min at all work levels.
Although in one instance body weight greatly improved the correlation coefficients between heart rate and Vo2, this did not occur when the relationship between Ve and Vo2 ml/kg per min values was utilized.
The maximal versus submaximal work data in study II indicate that better correlation coefficients and regression equations are observed with the heaviest workloads.
