Short answer

How can I get my VO2max from a running test?

Give your distance and time to your AI. It uses specific formulas to turn those numbers into oxygen uptake values and ACSM fitness tiers. You'll get a clear breakdown of your aerobic capacity.

The outcomes

What you'll receive

Your AI converts raw performance numbers into these specific fitness metrics.

METRICS

VO2max values

The AI calculates your oxygen uptake in ml/kg/min. This provides a baseline for your aerobic fitness.

GRADING

ACSM categories

Your results are mapped to American College of Sports Medicine standards. You'll see where you rank for your age and gender.

LOGIC

Test identification

The AI determines if your data belongs to a Cooper test or a Rockport walk test. It picks the right math for the job.

HUMAN

Data verification

The AI cannot check if your physical effort was accurate. You must ensure the distance and time you provide are correct.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your agent processes your raw test numbers through physiological models.

  1. Identify test type

    The AI looks at your distance and time to decide which formula to apply.

  2. Calculate uptake

    Your agent runs the specific math for your test to find your VO2max.

  3. Assign category

    The AI compares your result to ACSM fitness tables.

FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI calculate my heart rate?

    No. The AI only calculates VO2max based on distance and time.

  • 02

    Does the AI suggest a training plan?

    No. The AI only provides the VO2max value and the ACSM fitness category.

  • 03

    What do I need for a Cooper test calculation?

    You need to provide the distance covered and the time it took.

  • 04

    Can I use this for walking tests?

    Yes, the AI can process Rockport walk test data.

  • 05

    Is the result a medical diagnosis?

    No. These are mathematical estimates based on field test formulas.
