VO2Max: 1-Mile Walk

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-Mile Walk Protocol

Purpose

Estimate the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to determine cardiovascular fitness level.

Equipment

Standard track or treadmill and a stopwatch.

Procedure

Begin with a moderate warm up. Start stopwatch at the beginning of the walk; stop the stopwatch at the end of one mile. This test is appropriate for those who cannot run due to various conditions. The participant should walk the full mile without jogging (no flight phase), keeping their exercise heart rate high. Record heart rate 10 seconds after finishing mile.
