How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your heart rate during submaximal exercise in beats per minute.
  2. Enter your age in years.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to estimate your VO2 max.
  4. The result will be displayed in milliliters per kilogram per minute (ml/kg/min).

Understanding VO2 Max

VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense exercise. It is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and is often used to assess the level of physical conditioning of athletes and the general population.

Limitations

This calculator provides an estimate based on the modified Åstrand equation. It may not be accurate for all individuals, especially athletes, as it does not take into account factors like weight, sex, or specific exercise conditions. For a more precise measurement, a direct VO2 max test conducted in a laboratory setting is recommended.
