How this calculator works
Estimate VO₂ max from a 12-minute Cooper test distance. Estimates only—not a diagnosis or prescription. VO₂ max ≈ 22.351 × km − 11.288 (Cooper field test). Example: 1.75 mi in 12 min → VO₂ max ≈ 38 ml/kg/min (estimate).
VO₂ max ≈ 22.351 × km − 11.288 (Cooper field test).
Example: 1.75 mi in 12 min → VO₂ max ≈ 38 ml/kg/min (estimate).
When to use this VO2 Max
Common use cases

What you get
- Fields: 12-min distance (mi)
- VO₂ max ≈ 22.351 × km − 11.288 (Cooper field test).
- Example on the page: 1.75 mi in 12 min → VO₂ max ≈ 38 ml/kg/min (estimate).
How to Calculate VO2 Max Step-by-Step
- 1Enter 12-min distance (mi). Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2VO₂ max ≈ 22.351 × km − 11.288 (Cooper field test).
- 3Worked case: 1.75 mi in 12 min → VO₂ max ≈ 38 ml/kg/min (estimate).
- 4If this number would change a drug, a diet, or a return-to-play call, take it to a clinician. The page never examined you.
Governing formula
VO₂ max ≈ 22.351 × km − 11.288 (Cooper field test).
