About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you
can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your
maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an
indication of athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves. VO2 max. estimates are provided and
supported by Firstbeat Technologies Ltd. The D2 Bravo device
has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You
can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate
monitor and power meter to display your cycling VO2 max.
