Information received from http://www.brianmac.co.uk/rockport.htm (2008). This link even provides a calculator to determine your VO2 max. The Rockport Fitness Walking Test is conducted as follows: * Choose a windless day to conduct the test * Record your weight * Walk one mile (1609 metres) as fast as possible * Record the time to complete the one mile walk * Immediately on finishing the walk record your heart rate (beats per minute) * Determine you VO2 max from the calculator below The formula used to calculate VO2 max is: * 132.853 - (0.0769 × Weight) - (0.3877 × Age) + (6.315 × Gender) - (3.2649 × Time) - (0.1565 × Heart rate) Where: * Weight is in pounds (lbs) * Gender Male = 1 and Female = 0 * Time is expressed in minutes and 100ths of minutes * Heart rate is in beats/minute * Age is in years
