This study aims to develop the estimation formula for V˙ O₂max of the male college students
according to the running speed by exercise intensity. The subjects were 17 male college
students(19.2±1.6) without any health problems. In the first test, the subjects walked on the treadmills
using KSSI protocol until they were all-out to get the maximal oxygen consumption. In addition,
Karvonen formula was applied to calculate %HRR by exercise intensity. In the secondary test, the
subjects had gradually reached to the exercise intensity for 7 minutes and adjusted the intensity to
keep the steady state for about 3 minutes using 02runner to determine the running speed of each
subject corresponding to the exercise intensity level of 50%HRR, 60%HRR and 70%HRR. Next, the target
exercise intensity was maintained for 12 minutes and the average speed was calculated as checking the
speeds every 20 sec. The estimated speeds were put in the estimation formula of metabolic rate of
ACSM to calculate V˙ O₂max. After that, the data dealing for analysis of the analyzed the data by using
SPSS 10.0 statistics package. The results are explained below. 1. Up to raising speed, HR and V˙ O₂
are also raised so those are quite related between each other(p<.05). 2. Recurrence formula of speed
for HR is speed=(0.08938×HR) - 4.926(R²=0.7552) 3. Recurrence formula of speed for %HRR is
speed(m/min)= (0.0765 ×HR) - 2.4947(R²=0.543) 4. The estimation of 50%HRR, 60%HRR, 70%HRR is
higher than the survey of them by the comparative result of the estimate and the survey of the degree
of exercise for V˙ O₂max. When we synthesize what is commented, the estimate of VO2 max, which is
gone wirh the running speed of the degree of exercise, is nevertheless different a little bit between
theestimate and the survey, however has a meaning for the high possibility of reproducibility. After a
while, if we will raise the member of the experiment considering the high possibility of the relationship
and the estimate of the speed for %HRR, the VO2 max estimate would be more precise.
