ABOUT THE FITNESS / BODY MASS INDEX

FITNESS INDEX

Your VIBRA Trainer Elite and VIBRA Trainer Elite Pro watch will generate a fitness index based on your aerobic fitness. This index is dependent and limited by the body's ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that can be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.

The higher the index, the fitter you are. See the tables below for a rough guide to what your fitness index means:
