VO2 Max measures how your body transports and uses oxygen during exercise. When measured it can help define your cardiovascular fitness. This App computes VO2 Max on the go and will store the results for future reference. VO2 Max tracking can help set performance goals for cardiovascular fitness. This app uses the well respected Rockport Fitness Walking Test (Kilne 1987) which provides an estimate of VO2 Max. It is a good test for anyone interested in tracking VO2 Max as it can easily be performed with no additional assistance.
The test is simple. Walk one mile as fast as possible and when finished, record your heart rate and time. Keep a steady stride during the test and do not run. You need atreadmill, 400 m track, or pre-measured distance to do the walking, a stopwatch, heart rate monitor, and scale for your weight.
The VO2 Max Calculator App will compute a VO2 max value and indicator reference (Very Poor, Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent or Superior).
