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, 

description, and level on the gauge. 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 and analysis is provided with permission from 

The Cooper Institute

®

. For more information, see the appendix 

(

VO2 Max. Standard Ratings

, page 9

), and go to 

www.CooperInstitute.org

.
