Does anyone can help me with the VO2 max formula?
When I run 2500m in about 11:15, my pulse vary between 160 to 175 b/min. I'm 30 years old and I weight 77kg.
1) VO2 max Formula:
VO2 max = (81.4 - (((2 X Age) + (Weight kg) + (b/min)) x 0.12))
VO2 max = (81.4 - ((60 + 77 + (b/min)) x 0.12))
There's something wrong with this formula!
(44.56) VO2 max = (81.4 - ((60 + 77 + 170) x 0.12))
(43.36) VO2 max = (81.4 - ((60 + 77 + 180) x 0.12))
(40.96) VO2 max = (81.4 - ((60 + 77 + 200) x 0.12))
(39.76) VO2 max = (81.4 - ((60 + 77 + 210) x 0.12))
If I need a VO2 superior than 39, according to this formula, I still pass the test with 200+ beats per minute. There's really something wrong with this formula!
2) VO2 max Formula: (Form DND 2212 12-04, Block F - mCAFT)
VO2 max = 17.2 + (1.29 x (O2 cost)) - (0.09 x (Weight kg)) - (0.18 x (Age))
VO2 max = 17.2 + (1.29 x (O2 cost)) - (0.09 x 77) - (0.18 x 30)
How to determine the O2 cost?
3) Finding Target Heart Rate: (THR)
220 - Age = A (max HR)
A X 0.7 (70% max HR) = B (min THR)
A X 0.9 (90% of max HR) = C (max THR)
220 - 30 = 190
190 x 0.7 = 133 (min THR)
190 x 0.9 = 171 (max THR)
So, if my THR is between 133 and 171 beats per minute, what append if my heart rate is higher (175-180 b/min) during the test? Did I automatically fail?
