The answer to this can only be approximated. To do it, you need to know the oxygen consumption at 6 METS. The standard assumption for this is that 1 MET is 3.5 ml/min/kg of body weight. Now you need to know how many Calories are burned for each ml/min of VO2. This again, is only an approximation, because the answer depends on assumptions about muscle efficiency and fuel burned. When the RQ (ratio of VCO2/VO2) is about 0.8, we burn about 4.8 Cal per liter of VO2 (source: ACSM resource manual). So, here we go: 6 METS = 6 x 3.5 = 21 ml/min/kg of VO2. Assume a 70-kg body weight, this gives VO2 of 1.47 l/min. Now multiply by the KCal factor to get 7 Cal per minute, or 420 Cal per hour. Putting the answer in units per Kg as requested, gives 420/70 = 6 Cal/kg/hour. 6 METS is about 3.5 MPH at 5% grade (brisk walk up slight hill).

The use of it is will instantly calculate VO2 Max for you if you can input your time to complete a one mile walk (walking as fast as you can) and your heart rate immediately after completing the one mile walk.
Information received from http://www.brianmac.co.uk/rockport.htm (2008). This link even provides a calculator to determine your VO2 max. The Rockport Fitness Walking Test is conducted as follows: * Choose a windless day to conduct the test * Record your weight * Walk one mile (1609 metres) as fast as possible * Record the time to complete the one mile walk * Immediately on finishing the walk record your heart rate (beats per minute) * Determine you VO2 max from the calculator below The formula used to calculate VO2 max is: * 132.853 - (0.0769 × Weight) - (0.3877 × Age) + (6.315 × Gender) - (3.2649 × Time) - (0.1565 × Heart rate) Where: * Weight is in pounds (lbs) * Gender Male = 1 and Female = 0 * Time is expressed in minutes and 100ths of minutes * Heart rate is in beats/minute * Age is in years
depends on their Vo2 Max.

V-Volume O2-Oxygen VO2 is an expression used to describe the maximum amount of oxygen one can have when working out.
VO2 decrease with age
It is very likely that James Vo2 max is higher than Michael Phelps when measured on treadmill, but, while swimming Michael Phelps VO2 max will be higher. VO2 max is affected by many factors like training, efficiency, age, test protocols, athlete's training cycle period, sickness, etc. However, due to the nature of swim training - typically 4-5 hours a day plus dry-land training, plus Michael's genetic makeup and years of training every single day- it is most likely that Michael Phelps VO2 max shall be higher than James.
The difference between VO2 max and VO2 peak is what the values represent. VO2 max represents the highest running oxygen amount achievable during a high intensity test. V02 peak represents the maximum value that can be reached without having it raised by a boost.

VO2 max is a measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that an athlete can use. It is measured in millilitres per kilogramme of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min).
