Mathematical modeling of oxygen consumption in the human body

Oxygen uptake as increment above the resting value was measured after the onset of constant-load exercise, the value of uptake increases approximately exponentially to its steady-state value Vs according to the equation. V[t] = V[s] [1-e[-kt]]K rate constant can be calculated either graphically or analytically. The results of others on eight subjects we used to determine K by both methods. Good agreement were found between the two techniques
