your VO2MAX is calculated to be

and your estimated "fitness age" is
younger than 20
Unlikely, but too funny.0 -

There is no answer to this, fit = good cardiovascular, as well as muscle endurance, strength, flexibility, etc.
At one point or another, high school sports will or have conditioned one area or the others very well to meet the demand of that particular sport, but don't mistake it for being your fittest era.
As you get older and develop into those areas, you'll only get more fit.
p.s I didn't do the counter, doesn't seem beneficial, but just for kicks
Good luck.0 -
younger then 20! This is awesome, I am 43!0

Fitness age = 26
Real age = 53
VO2 max from online calculator = 53
VO2 max when I tested on a Concept2 rower = 48
Guessing my fairly low resting heart (49 bpm) rate skewed the figures a bit.
Same issue with the low resting heart rate...
Fitness age = less than 20
Real age = 35
VO2 max from online calculator 47
Resting heart rate 44-48 bpm....for no reason other than genetics! I've only recently (past 3 weeks) given up a 20+ year smoking habit and taken up regular exercise, so I know my resting heartrate is not down to a lifetime of great lifestyle choices!

Fitness age is less than 20, and my actual age is 26.
However, I do not see how this will make a big difference between a skinny fat person and a skinny fit person? Maybe from the resting heart rate?
I know a lot of people who have skinnier waist lines than me who haven't got the same level of cardio fitness (and I am not claiming to be very fit. I can last an hour long intense Zumba class without too much discomfort, that is about it).0 -

Alrighty, here's a response from someone who isn't fit yet...
Actual age = 31
Fitness age = 52
I currently weigh 237 lbs, down from 278, workout 3-4 times a week for more than an hour (cardio AND strength) and can do 10 miles on a bike at a fast pace without stopping. If I keep itup, one day, my fitness age will be less than my real age0 -
There's no way my VO2 Max is 56...0

Your VO2MAX is calculated to be 48 and your estimated "fitness age" is 41.

Your VO2MAX is calculated to be
56
and your estimated "fitness age" is
200 -

It's a measure of fitness - the maximum amount of oxygen in millilitres someone can use in one minute per kg of body weight. The higher your VO2Max the higher the level of intensity you can work at over the same time frame in comparison an untrained individual.0 -
Apparently, Norwegian researchers have created a fairly accurate formula for figuring out VO2 Max. Thought I would share

Mine is age 20, woot!
So this was not very accurate at all.
Vo2 Max of 58 is probably high by 5, so not terrible
But fitness age of 'younger than 20' is ridiculous given I am 56.
I am very fit these days, but if they had said upper 30's or young 40's I would have been flattered. Younger than 20 is not the case at all.0 -
I think the online calculator is designed to give people a boost as most fitness ages seem to be lower than actual age0

Using my last spare tire measurement it came up with a fitness age of 28 and a V02 max of 42. Using my "real" waist measurement (actual waist is an inch or 2 above navel - at least that's what I read somewhere), my fitness age is under 20 with a V02 max of 46. Either way, not bad as I'm almost 40.0
