About VO2 Max
�
Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen
(in milliliters) you can consume per minute
per kilogram of body weight at your
maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2
max. is an indication of athletic performance
and should increase as your level of fitness
improves.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate
appears as a number and description. On
your Garmin Connect account, you can view
additional details about your VO2 max.
estimate, including your fitness age. Your
fitness age gives you an idea of how your
fitness compares with a person of the same
gender and different age. As you exercise,
your fitness age can decrease over time.
