A VO₂ Max Calculator estimates your oxygen consumption capacity during exercise, helping you assess your fitness level and improve endurance scientifically.

What Is It? - VO₂ Max Calculator

VO₂ Max stands for “Maximum Volume of Oxygen” the body can utilize during intensive physical activity. It reflects cardiovascular health, stamina, and fitness performance.

Formula

This calculator uses the Rockport One-Mile Walk Test Formula, which calculates VO₂ Max by considering variables like:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Weight
  • Heart Rate
  • Test Duration

Formula:

    132.853 
    - (0.0769 × weight in lb) 
    - (0.3877 × age)
    + (6.315 × gender)
    - (3.2649 × duration in min)
    - (0.1565 × heart rate)

How to Use

  1. Input your age, gender, weight, heart rate, and test duration.
  2. Click Calculate to get your VO₂ Max value.
  3. View your result in mL/kg/min and a chart of past calculations to track improvements.

FAQs

Q: What is a good VO₂ Max?
A: It depends on age and gender. For men, 40-60 mL/kg/min is excellent. For women, 35-55 mL/kg/min is considered high.

Q: How can I improve my VO₂ Max?
A: Activities like running, cycling, swimming, and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are effective.

Q: Is VO₂ Max an accurate health indicator?
A: Yes, it’s a reliable measure of cardiovascular and oxygen utilization capacity, but it doesn’t replace regular medical assessments.
