VO2 Max Estimation (Uth-Sørensen-Overgaard-Pedersen)

This method provides an estimate of VO2 Max based on the ratio of maximum heart rate to resting heart rate.

VO2 Max ≈ 15.3 × (MHR / RHR)

  • MHR: Maximum Heart Rate
  • RHR: Resting Heart Rate

Example 1

MHR 190, RHR 60.

  • Ratio: 190 / 60 = 3.16
  • VO2 Max: 15.3 × 3.16 = 48.4 mL/kg/min

Example 2

MHR 180, RHR 80.

  • Ratio: 180 / 80 = 2.25
  • VO2 Max: 15.3 × 2.25 = 34.4 mL/kg/min

How to Use

  • Enter Max Heart Rate.
  • Enter Resting Heart Rate.
