Calculate speed in miles per hour (mph)
Miles per hour (mph) = (# feet walked in 6 minutes)(10) = ________ mph
5280 feet in one mile

METs = (___ mph) (26.83 meters/min) (0.1 mL*kg-1*min-1) + (3.5 mL*kg-1*min-1)
(3.5 mL*kg-1*min-1)
METs = ________

Write a 2-3 page paper analyzing the subject�s information and results from above. Develop an exercise prescription for the subject following the FITT format. Provide references to support the analysis and exercise prescription, including at least 2 recent scholarly primary references.
