Interpret Your Fitness Test Results
Interpret the OwnIndex values by
comparing your individual values and
changes in them over time. OwnIndex
can also be interpreted based on gender
and age. Locate your OwnIndex on the
table, and find out 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 VO
2max
was
measured directly in healthy adult subjects in
the USA, Canada and seven European
countries. Reference: Shvartz E, Reibold RC:
