What This Means

If you're a 59-year-old male, a VO2 Max of 31.7 mL/kg/min places you at the 50th percentile—meaning you're average compared to peers your age and sex.

Scoring above 36.7 indicates superior cardiovascular fitness, which is associated with lower all-cause mortality and a younger biological age. Scoring below 25.3 may indicate elevated health risks.

Medical Methodology

Data sources derived from the HUNT Fitness Study (55,000+ participants) and validated against Cooper Institute norms. We use the HUNT Linear algorithm to calculate biological age: Biological Age = Chronological Age − 0.5 × (VO2 Max − Expected).
