This will be familiar to those who were tested during P.E. I counted 35 beats which gives me an estimated VO2 max of 49.17 ml/kg/min. Once 3 minutes are completed, immediately measure your pulse for 15 seconds and enter it here. As far as I know you are fine to alternate lead legs as long as the rhythm is maintained. This equates to 24 and 22 complete rounds of an up-up-down-down rhythm on the step. For males this has to be set to 96bpm, for females it’s 88bpm. You will need a metronome which you can find online here. I completed the form in a matter of minutes and my estimated VO2 max was 52 ml/kg/min.Īlso known as the Home Step Test, this requires you to step onto a 41cm box for 3 minutes then measure your heart rate on completion. To calculate your resting heart rate count your pulse for 15 seconds, then multiply that number by four. This is a Norwegian study and it requires basic information like height and weight as well as how often I exercise and at what intensity. The first test was based on a form I filled out over at World Fitness Level. Each test comes with a margin of error and so by taking multiple tests I can identify a small range that my VO2 max should lie within. My six tests range from a non-exercise test (online questionnaire) to a maximal run. Cross Country Skiers are often touted as the athletes who score the highest, with some athletes managing to score 90-95 ml/kg/min on their VO2 max tests.
