About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you
can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your
maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an
indication of athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number
and description. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view
additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, including your
fitness age. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your
fitness compares with a person of the same gender and different
age. As you exercise, your fitness age can decrease over time.
VO2 max. data is provided by FirstBeat. VO2 max. analysis is
provided with permission from The Cooper Institute . For more
information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings,
page 23), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.

Association , and the World Health Organization, recommend at
least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, such
as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity
activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time
spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities
(heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). You
can work toward achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by
participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of moderate to
vigorous intensity activities. The device adds the amount of
moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity
minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when
added.
®
