| Have you had your VO2 and VCO2 checked????
My girlfriend is taking a biology class as a prerequisite to a nursing degree, and in this process she was used as a guinea pig for VO2 and VCO2 measurement. This was interesting because she metabolized about 2.0 litres of Oxygen in a 7 minute period and output 1.5 litres of CO2 in that period of time. She could stay down on my rebreather for over 30 hours!
I'm thinking of signing up for a non-credit class that deals with metabolism for the sole purpose of having mine measured. They test you at rest, medium, and heavy workloads. I know that everyone is different, and that a single individual can vary from day-to-day, but I think it would be interesting to be tested.
Has anyone gone through the process of being tested for VO2 and VCO2 levels?
Aloha,
Charlie
