What is VO2max
VO2max is the maximum amount of oxygen that a person can take per kilogram for one minute. Based on the
estimated VO2max, your time of 5km race, 10km race, half marathon, or full marathon can be estimated.
To estimate VO2max, running is required with the following conditions satisfied.
❏
You profile information (such as body height, weight, and gender) has been
correctly entered.
❏
Select [Run] as the activity type (Estimation is not available with [Walk] or

Run so that heart rate is kept at exercise strength 55 to 90%HRR (*)
* Formula for exercise strength %HRR (how to get heart rate when exercise strength is 55%HRR): Heart rate
= 0.55× (Maximum heart rate - heart rate at rest) + heart rate at rest
The maximum heart rate and heart rate at rest are automatically calculated according to the information
entered at the initial setup. You can change them using Epson View. Refer to the following website for more
information.
