v=vo + at OR v2=vo2+2ax and one more basic one that I'm forgetting...
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).

VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen taken in and transported to the working muscles to produces energy
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.
A vo2 max calculator can best be found on websites like ebay and amazon. Not only will you find reputable vo2 max calculator stockists, but also be able to save money by ckecking the prices.
Armstrong's VO2 max was reported at 85 ml/kg/min
You can find out what your vo2 max is in many different places. There are various websites dedicated to finding these numbers for a more effective workout.

VO2 max refers to the maximum rate of oxygen consumption during intense exercise, indicating cardiovascular fitness. PVO2 max, on the other hand, stands for peak oxygen uptake and usually refers to the highest oxygen consumption a person can achieve, typically during a specific test or activity. Both measures assess aerobic capacity.

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.
