Hi there 👋

Please feel free to comment below or in the individual articles linked should you have any questions about them, and I will try to follow up.

Everything you need to know about VO2max estimates
VO2max estimation is a feature we provide in HRV4Training since already 7-8 years and is present in a few wearables and smartwatches as well (e.g. Garmin, Coros, Apple Watch, etc.).
In this blog, I cover the basics of how these models normally work, so that we can better understand the limitations, and how we can potentially use them to track changes in fitness over time. Here is my own data, lab vs app estimate.
