c) Using the data from the table above, calculate the average maximal oxygen consumption (and standard deviation) for both males and females. In your answer make sure you round your answer off to one decimal place, include standard deviations and the unit of measurement
Males: _____________________
Females: _____________________
Additional Requirement
This assignment belongs to Nursing and it discusses about data on cardiovascular exercise of males and females and oxygen consumption. With the data, the cardiovascular training status and endurance performance, etc need to be calculated.
