When the point is reached where exercise intensity can continue to increase without the associated rise in oxygen consumption, max VO2 has been achieved. The correct way to write VO2 max with measurements: VO2 max ml/kg/min Training at 75% of aerobic power, for 30 minutes, 3 times a week over 6 months increases VO2 max an average of 15-20% To Calculate Aerobic Power: Find Max Heart Rate (MHR)= 220 - Age Example: A women is 23 and is working out at 75% of MHR. What is her Aerobic Power? (220 - 23) 0.75 197 x 0.75 = 147.75 Approximately: 147 beats/min VO2 Max Concepts The Bruce Treadmill Test only estimates VO2max using the formula below: For Men: VO2max = 14.8 - (1.379 x T) + (0.451 x T2) - (0.012 x T3) For Women: VO2 max = 4.38 x T - 3.9 In both cases T denotes the time in minutes spent on the treadmill. The highest ever recorded VO2 max is 94 ml/kg/min in men and 77 ml/kg/min in women. Both were cross-country skiers < Click on the box for more more information on VO2 Max & related concepts.
