Assess VO2 Max With Lab or Field Testing
Gold-standard aerobic capacity assessment is a laboratory VO2 max test using a mask and gas analysis. Field options include a 12-minute Cooper run test, entering distance into an online calculator, or a Rockport one-mile walk test if hard running is not feasible, recording both time and end heart rate.
