More about: Peak VO2 Predicted

What it calculates

The “Peak VO2 Predicted” calculator computes Predicted peak VO₂ in mL/kg/min from 6 parameters: sex (0 = male, 1 = female), age (years), body weight (kg), height (cm), exercise mode (0 = treadmill, 1 = cycle ergometer), measured peak vo₂ (mL/kg/min).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Sex (0 = male, 1 = female) = 0, Age = 50 years, Body weight = 80 kg, Height = 178 cm, Exercise mode (0 = treadmill, 1 = cycle ergometer) = 0, Measured peak VO₂ = 30 mL/kg/min the result is 37.5 mL/kg/min (Normal: > 84% of predicted).

How to use

  1. Enter sex (0 = male, 1 = female), age, body weight, height, exercise mode (0 = treadmill, 1 = cycle ergometer) and measured peak vo₂ — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. Predicted peak VO₂ (mL/kg/min) is calculated automatically as you type.
  3. Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.
  4. Copy the result or bookmark this calculator.

FAQ

How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
