Estimate aerobic capacity from resting heart rate and age.
VO2 max is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during intense exercise. It is the gold standard measure of cardiovascular fitness. Higher VO2 max is associated with longer lifespan and better athletic performance.
This calculator uses the Uth-Sørensen-Overgaard-Pedersen formula (15 × HRmax/HRrest), which gives a reliable estimate for most adults. For a more precise measurement, a graded exercise test with metabolic analysis is required.
