Simple and Full CME Predictor Terms and Coefficients

CME Intercept Cadence Cadence2 Age × Cadence BMI × Cadence2 Leg Length × Age Age × Height
Simple 1.811 0.02014 7.427 E-4 -- -- -- --
Full −0.1172 -- 1.400 E-3 −1.362 E-3 −8.288 E-6 1.541 E-03 --
Fullht −0.4367 -- 1.430 E-3 −1.455 E-3 −9.012 E-6 -- 8.086 E-4

Example: Simple CME Predicted VO2 (mL/kg/min) = 1.811 + [0.02014*Cadence] + [7.427 E-4*Cadence2]

Predictor (units); Cadence (steps/min); Leg Length (cm); Age (years); BMI (kg/m2)

× indicates interaction

CME, cadence-based metabolic equation; BMI, body mass index; Fullht, Full CME including height instead of leg length
