To imply that this MH370 was pre planned using knowledge of the fact that an Immarsat sattelite low on fuel would "wobble" and thus lead to misleading doppler data etc. is SO far fetched as to be out of hand ridiculous.
YET, MH370 definitely is FOUL PLAY, and not an "accident" or even series of accidents aboard.
The only thing i can think of is that the predominant global authorities of our time (US & anglosphere) DON'T WANT this plane to be found. Leading a side show into nothingness (or vacant areas) would be easy to do, especially if you KNOW where the plane really is. Question is WHY?
FIT Treadmill Score = MPHR + 12(METs) - 4(age) + (43 pts bonus for being female).
Note if you are 50 years old male, your age docks you 200 points off the top! so you start at -200, then assume you "DO" reach your maximal heartrate (acc to "220-age" ) then you are still at -100 for mortality. Only your METs, can then push your FIT number to a value greater than zero (if the MET number is > 9).
Does anyone know what unit the METs are measured in for this "FIT" metric? wikipedia indicates MET values of activities range from 0.9 (sleeping) to 23 (running at 22.5 km/h or a 4:17 mile pace). I have never run at a 4:17 pace. So it is these elite athletes whose MET numbers (times 12) enable them to score so high on this "FIT" metric. The average joe will only get a MET around 7 i'd imagine, bringing the MET contribution to around 84 points only.
having said that, the survival curve FLATTENS out above zero "FIT" score. so elite/high METs contributions to the "FIT" score beyond zero will not necessarily increase survival, but it does imply less chance of cardio being cause of death.
you mention: "Further the metabolic equivalent is what really does the correction"
The formula given above
MPHR + 12 x METS -4 x age +(female factor) is correct.
however it doesn't seem to NORMALIZE for METs as you indicate. what you imply is more of a ratio: MPHR / METs. This is not the case, so this "FIT" treadmill test metric does not care how easily you reach your MPHR, UNLESS, it is all variables entered at the moment of MPHR.
