VO2 Max Norms by Age & Sex

Enter a directly measured VO2 max to see your percentile against apparently healthy adults of the same sex and age decade. Treadmill and cycle-ergometer norms are reported separately and are not interchangeable.

Choose the modality your VO2 max was actually measured with. Treadmill and cycle norms are kept separate and are not interchangeable.

mL/kg/min

Enter a directly measured VO2 max value only. Combine/100 does not estimate VO2 max from heart rate, smartwatch fields, age or BMI.

YOUR RESULT APPEARS HERE

Enter a directly measured VO2 max to see your percentile against apparently healthy adults tested with the same modality.

READING YOUR VO2 MAX RESULT

MEASURED, NOT ESTIMATED

These norms assume a directly measured VO2 max from cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Smartwatch and heart-rate estimates are not equivalent and should not be compared here.

MODALITY MATTERS

Treadmill testing typically yields higher VO2 max values than cycle testing for the same person, so each modality has its own reference table.

AGE AND SEX

VO2 max norms decline with age and differ by sex, so your result is placed within your own sex and age-decade group.
