FITNESS INDEX
The watch will generate a fi tness index based on your aerobic fi tness.
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 defi ned 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.
