About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body
weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength
and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Descent G1 watch requires wrist-based heart rate or
a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The watch has separate VO2 max.
estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter
at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate.
On the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account,
you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate.
VO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The
Cooper Institute ® . For more information, see the appendix
