CalcSimpler Examples
- Age 30 with 60 bpm ⇒ 47.5 ml/kg/min
- Age 40 with 70 bpm ⇒ 38.6 ml/kg/min
- Age 25 with 55 bpm ⇒ 53.6 ml/kg/min
FAQ
What is VO2 max?
VO2 max measures how much oxygen your body can use during intense exercise.
How accurate is this estimate?
It's a rough approximation; professional testing gives more precise results.
What is a good VO2 max value?
Scores vary by age and sex. Higher numbers generally indicate better aerobic fitness.
Can medications or health conditions affect it?
Yes. Always consult a healthcare professional before drawing conclusions.
Additional Information
- Formula: VO₂max = 15 × (HRmax / RestingHR) with HRmax ≈ 220 − age.
- Provides a quick fitness benchmark but is less accurate than laboratory testing.
