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. VO2 max. estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. 
You can use your Garmin

®

 device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your 

cycling VO2 max. estimate.
