Frequently Asked Questions

What is VO2 max?

VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise, expressed in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute. It's one of the best indicators of aerobic (cardiovascular) fitness.

How does the Cooper test work?

The Cooper test has you run as far as possible in exactly 12 minutes. The distance covered is then plugged into a formula to estimate VO2 max without needing a lab treadmill test.

What is a good VO2 max score?

It varies by age and gender, but for adults, below 30 is generally considered poor, 30-40 average, 40-50 good, and above 50 is excellent — elite endurance athletes often score 60-80+.
