    Its the maximum amount of Oxygen ur body actually takes in and uses.


    15(Heart Rate max/ Heart Rate Rest). Personally i wouldnt bother with it.

    We tested this in exercise phys last term. You need a stop watch,a heart rate monitor, another person to record and to man the treadmill for you. It works best if you have oxygen going too. It is a whole process, but we did it without O2. So anyhow, I would need to find my paper, but you put yourself at a comfortable running pace and I think it was every minute you inclined the treadmill. You had to record the heart rate and the incline and the minutes and then there is a whole formula to figure out your percentage. It is rather interesting.

    Wondering why you want to know this?

    The calorie calculator I use by putting my HR and time in as a spot for V02 Max, I played with it and it REALLY changed the calorie burn numbers. I was trying to figure out if I knew what the answer really was to get a more accurate calorie burn number. My HRM only gives me calories when the GPS is on and I"m moving.
