Table 2.

Equations for the graphs depicted in figure 1, as well as an overall equation that uses both the level of BWS and the velocity to predict gross VO2.

Regression Equation R2
0% BWS Gross VO2 = (12.05*v) – 5.24 .969
20% BWS Gross VO2= (8.33*v) – 3.78 .818
40% BWS Gross V̇O2= (7.05*v) – 0.45 .739
Overall Gross V̇O2= (9.26*v) – (42.18*BWS)+ 4.63 .838

VO2= Oxygen consumption. BWS= Proportion Body Weight Support (0% BW is on regular treadmill; 20% BWS is 0.20 in the overall formula); R2=proportion explained variability. v=velocity in meters per second.
