Default calculating anaerobic threshold
Is there a way to calculate your anaerobic threshold knowing your VO2 max (predicted), max HR, cardiac output, stroke volume, a-VO2 difference?

I'm doing an assignment on predicting VO2 max, and one question reads:
Quote:
Based on your predicted VO2 max, calculate VO2 that would correspond with your anaerobic threshold.
I did a search on google and all I've found is that untrained people will have an anaerobic threshold of 50-60 percent of their VO2 max, and elite athletes might have it at 90 percent of their VO2 max.

He gave us equations for everything else we have to find, except this, and I have no way of contacting him before this is due.
Anyone know?
