20 Meter Shuttle Run Vo2 Max Calculator

Introduction & Importance

The 20-meter shuttle run is a simple and effective field test used to estimate an individual’s maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness. This calculator uses the formula derived from the study by Leger and Lambert (1984) to estimate your VO2 Max based on your age, gender, and the time it takes you to complete the 20-meter shuttle run.
