VO2 Max. Serious exercisers may use a VO2 max calculation, which measures the amount of oxygen consumed during intensive, all-out exercise. The most accurate testing method uses computers, but anyone can estimate V02 without instrumentation (with an accuracy of about 95%):
After running at top pace for 15 minutes, round off the distance run to the nearest 25 meters.
Divide that number by 15.
Subtract 133.
Multiply the total by 0.172, then add 33.3.
Olympic and professional athletes train for VO2 max levels above 80. But for the average person interested in fitness, a VO2 max equaling between 50 and 80 is considered an excellent score for overall fitness.
