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.
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.
