45.9 ml/kg/min
Explanatory note about the result.
15.3 × 180/60 = 45.9 ml/kg/min。
At a glance:HR method: VO2max ≈ 15.3 × (maxHR / restHR). Cooper 1-mile: VO2max ≈ 132.853 − 0.0769×weight(lb) − 0.3877×age + 6.315×sex − 3.2649×time(min) + 0.1565×HRrest... (simplified running form: VO2max ≈ 35.97 − 0.174×time(s) + 0.346×hrMax/... ). Complements target-hr and running-calorie.
Formula
HR ratio: VO2max ≈ 15.3 × (hrMax / hrRest).
1-mile run (men): VO2max ≈ 132.853 − 0.1692×time(sec) (Cooper-style).
How to Use
