VO2 Max Calculator
VO2 MAX DEFINITION:
The VO2 Max Calculator 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. VO2 Max (Volume Oxygen Max) is a measure of how much oxygen a person can use during difficult exercise. VO2 Max is a commonly used indicator of an individual’s cardiovascular respiratory fitness level. Our VO2 max calculator will give you a very good estimate of your VO2 max. To use the calculator, first you must walk one mile as fast as you can. Upon completion, immediately measure your heart rate and record your completion time (in seconds). Use those numbers in our calculator to find out your VO2 max. Over time, you should see your VO2 max increase as you increase your level of fitness.
