Aerobic Capacity Reference Data in 3816 Healthy Men and Women 20-90 Years

What this work gives Aellic

Directly measured VO2peak by decade in 3,816 healthy Norwegian adults. Men: 54.4 (20s), 49.1 (30s), 47.2 (40s), 42.6 (50s), 39.2 (60s), 35.3 (70+); women: 43.0, 40.0, 38.4, 34.4, 31.1, 28.3 ml/kg/min, each with an SD of about 5 to 8. Decline about 3.5 ml/kg/min per decade. Reading the fitness age as the age whose decade mean equals the user's estimated VO2max, interpolated between decade midpoints, is Aellic's construction on top of this table, not a result of the paper.
