Newsletter #44: VO2max update

last days to apply to become an ambassador

hi there 👋

I hope everything is well.

I’ve just released an improvement in the VO2max estimation feature in HRV4Training Pro (which you can try here, if you use our app already).

The VO2max estimation page is for runners and cyclists using the Strava or TrainingPeaks integration and training with a heart rate monitor (and power meter in case of cyclists).

HRV4Training can estimate cardiorespiratory fitness level (VO2max) based on the relationship between internal (heart rate) and external (pace or power) load.

Check out our publication showing a strong agreement between real-life running performance and estimated VO2max.

In Pro, the top panel shows your current VO2max (past 3 to 6 weeks depending on available data) and the relative change with respect to the previous 2 months. Heart rate and pace (for runners) or heart rate and power (for cyclists) refer to your average values during the same time period.

With the latest update, you can also choose between running and biking:

and see the corresponding estimates, for example running:
