Fitness Walking Test Calculator

How fit are you? The Fitness Walking Test is one of the best tests for cardio-respiratory fitness, determined by finding your VO2max, your maximum possible oxygen consumption.

Take the Test

1) You need to have a 1-mile course. For most high school tracks, that is 4 laps around the innermost lane.
2) Warm up at a gentle pace for at least 5 minutes.
3) Walk 1 mile as fast as you can.
4) Record your time to walk 1 mile.
5) Take your heart rate immediately at the end of 1 mile. You can do this with a heart rate monitor or by taking your pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4.
6) Enter your data into the calculator below. The calculator determines your VO2Max and compares that to standards for your gender and age group to tell you fitness level.
