VO2Max: 1.5 Mile Run
Quickly measure and calculate your VO2Max and cardiovascular capacity
VO2Max is a measurement of your body’s ability to process a volume of oxygen and is indexed to your body mass. Achieving and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system is one of the most important aspects of fitness. Because it measures your body’s capacity to process oxygen, it serves as a good indicator of how much you can safely exert yourself during exercise.
1.5 Mile Run Protocol
Purpose
Estimate the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to determine cardiovascular fitness level.
Equipment
Standard track or treadmill
Procedure
Begin with a moderate warm up. Start stopwatch at the beginning of run; stop the stopwatch at the end of the distance. Participant should be able to jog for at least 15 minutes to complete this test. The total distance is 1.5 miles; on a standard track is 6 laps. Pacing and constant motivation are important in order to complete the test in the fastest time possible with an accurate estimation of VO2max.
