The quickest and easiest way to measure your VO2 max is to use a basic calculation or a walking/jogging test.\n\nDetermine your resting heart rate. Many fitness trackers and watches come with a heart rate monitor. If you have one of these, record your heart rate while at rest (sitting down, doing little-to-no physical activity). The best time to measure your 25 years old, your HRmax = 220 -25 = 195 beats per minute (bpm). There is some research that suggests this formula oversimplifies the calculation. You can also estimate your max heart rate with the formula HRmax = 205.8 - (0.685 x age) Define the simple VO2 max formula. The simplest formula to calculate VO2 max is VO2 max = 15 x (HRmax/HRrest). This method is considered to compare well with other common formulas. The units for VO2 max are milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (mL/kg/min)'}]}, 'oversightModule': {'oversightHasDmc': True, 'isFdaRegulatedDrug': False, 'isFdaRegulatedDevice': False}, 'conditionsModule': {'conditions': ['Children, Only']}, 'referencesModule': {'references': [{'pmid': '25070386', 'type': 'BACKGROUND', 'citation': 'Jankowski M, Niedzielska A, Brzezinski M, Drabik J.
