VO2 Max Calculator
Calculate your VO2 Max using heart rate or Cooper test methods to assess your cardiovascular fitness level.
What Is VO2 Max and Why It Matters
VO2 Max (maximum oxygen consumption) is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during exercise. It's a crucial metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.
- 1
Cardiovascular Health
Indicates your heart and lungs' efficiency in delivering oxygen to muscles
- 2
Endurance Performance
Helps predict performance in endurance activities
- 3
Training Progress

How to Estimate VO2 Max
VO2 Max can be estimated using various methods, each with its own advantages and applications in different settings.
- 1
Heart Rate Method
Uses resting and maximum heart rate for estimation
- 2
Cooper Test
Based on distance covered in 12 minutes
- 3
Fitness Level
Results are classified based on age and gender
