VO2 max estimation predicts maximum oxygen consumption during intense exercise. It's an aerobic fitness marker and performance indicator.

Trinn-for-trinn guide

  1. 1Direct measurement: max exercise test with oxygen analyzer
  2. 2Estimation: use submaximal tests or field tests (Cooper 12-min run)
  3. 3Cooper test: VO2max ≈ (distance in meters - 504) / 45

Vanlige feil å unngå

  • Over-estimating from submaximal tests
  • Not accounting for age/sex norms

Ofte stilte spørsmål

What's a good VO2max?

Highly age and sex dependent. Young males 40-60, females 35-50 mL/kg/min are good.

Does VO2max improve with training?

Yes, aerobic training increases VO2max 15-25% with consistent effort.
