ABOUT THE FITNESS / BODY MASS INDEX
FITNESS INDEX
Your 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 to
determine 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:
