I thought the higher the VO2max is the better. How about your recent medical check-up about the heart, did it not affect your endurance. Just curious.

Curious ako about this also. Saan ba puede mag pa check ng ganyan.

The only thing I noticed I used to sustained 169 bpm for 17 minutes with 183 max heartrate but now I can only do in 10 with 180 max heart rate. Probably to much thinking, less biking and short sleep.

last time i checked on my Polar a month ago, 81... grabe, ang baba yung sa yo Jr., galing! best riders in the world na sa line ng 40s ;D Gul.. actually this is just above average the real athlete way higher. I think is not accurate. Probably will check again within two weeks.

hi jr, mali pala na post ko, 43 pala VO2max ko hehehe so what's the story, is higher or lower better? will check my literature too maybe that will give us a clue to your readings din...

Gul.. the higher suppose to be better. I will try again next week and see what happen. yup you're right and you're probably also right about not enough sleep and too much thinking...think that's what your newborn is causing you to do

Agree with Gul.. our polar has the HRM option.

Fitness can be measured by the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity. VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters, one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight. Those who are more fit have higher VO2 max values and can exercise more intensely than those who are not as well conditioned. Numerous studies show that you can increase your VO2 max by working out at an intensity that raises your heart rate to between 65 and 85 per cent of its maximum for at least 20 minutes three to five times a week. A mean value of VO2 max for male athletes is about 3.5 litres/minute and for female athletes it is about 2.7 litres/minute.
Factors affecting VO2 max The physical limitations that restrict the rate at which energy can be released aerobically are dependent upon: · the chemical ability of the muscular cellular tissue system to use oxygen in breaking down fuels · the combined ability of cardiovascular and pulmonary systems to transport the oxygen to the muscular tissue system
How to compute for your VO2max.Testing and measurement are the means of collecting information upon which subsequent performance evaluations and decisions are made but in the analysis we need to bear in mind the factors that may influence the results.
To monitor the development of the athlete's general endurance (VO2 max).Required ResourcesTo undertake this test you will require:· Treadmill where speed and grade of slope can be adjusted · Stop watch · An assistant
The athlete runs on a treadmill to exhaustion. At timed stages during the run the slope of the treadmill is increased as detailed in the table below. Time ---km/hr--- Slope (min) 0 ------11.3------ 0° 1 ------11.3------ 2° 2 ------11.3------ 4° 3 ------11.3------ 6° 4 ------11.3------ 8° 5 ------11.3------ 10° 6 ------11.3------ 11° 7 ------11.3------ 12° 8 ------11.3------ 13° 9 ------11.3------ 14° 10 ------11.3------ 15° 11 ------11.3------ 16° 12 ------11.3------ 17° 13 ------11.3------ 18° 14 ------11.3------ 19° 15 ------11.3------ 20°
The treadmill is set up with a speed of 11.3 km/hour (7.02 miles/hr) and a slope of 0° and the athlete commences the test. At minute intervals during the test the slope of the treadmill is adjusted. The assistant starts the stop watch at the start of the test and stops it when the athlete is unable to continue - this ideally should be between 9 and 15 minutes.
Analysis of the result is by comparing it with the results of previous tests. It is expected that, with appropriate training between each test, the analysis would indicate an improvement. From the total running time an estimate of the athlete's Vo2 max can be calculated as follows:· VO2 max = 42 + (Time * 2) "Time" is the total time of the test expressed in minutes and fractions of a minute. Example: The athlete stopped the test after 13 minutes 15 seconds of running (13.25 mins). VO2 max = 42 + (13.25 * 2) · Vo2 max = 68.5mls/kg/min
There are a few more ways to calculate for VO2max some of which use only the heart rate but I'm not familiar with the formulas. I'll try to find out and will update... Hope this helps for now. ;D

wow, galing minotaur! This is the test they did to me for heart diagnosis. They make me run for 5 minutes then another 10 minutes.

The highest VO2 max value ever recorded, 93 ml/kg/min, was from a Scandinavian cross country skier. Steve Prefontaine, at 84.4 ml/kg/min, had one of the highest VO2 max values recorded in elite runners. Grete Waitz had a VO2 max of 73 ml/kg/min. when she was running at her best, one of the highest recorded values for women and on par with the values for some elite men.
