Fitness & Performance Tests
Measure where you stand. Estimate your VO2max from a 12-minute field test and check your BMI, with the athlete caveats spelled out.
VO2max Estimator
VO2max is the most oxygen your body can use per minute, the ceiling on your aerobic fitness. The 12-minute Cooper test estimates it from distance: VO2max = (metres - 504.9) / 44.73. Run 2,400 metres and you score about 42 ml/kg/min, a recreationally active level. A lab test is more exact, but this gets you close.
BMI Calculator
Body mass index is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared. At 70 kg and 175 cm your BMI is 22.9, inside the healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9. BMI is a fast population screen, but it counts muscle as mass, so lean, muscular athletes often read high without carrying excess fat.
