Interpret your fitness test results

Interpret the OwnIndex values by comparing your individual values and their progression over time. OwnIndex can also be interpreted based on gender and age. Locate your OwnIndex on the table, and find out your fitness level class and how your aerobic fitness compares to others of the same gender and age.

This classification is based on a literature review of 62 studies where VO2max was measured directly in healthy adult subjects in the USA, Canada and 7 European countries.
