NTNU Fitness Age Calculator
This calculator estimates your cardiorespiratory fitness level (VO₂max) and corresponding fitness age using the NTNU method. Two formulas are used—one based on waist circumference and one based on BMI. Your estimated VO₂max is then compared to normative reference values by sex and age to calculate your fitness age.
Formulas Used
Waist-based VO₂max (ml/kg/min)
Men: VO₂max = 70.161 + (0.671 × PA) - (0.387 × Waist) - (0.267 × RHR) - (0.186 × Age)
Women: VO₂max = same as men - 7 (approximate adjustment)
BMI-based VO₂max (ml/kg/min)
Men: VO₂max = 56.363 + (1.921 × PA) - (0.381 × BMI) - (0.754 × RHR) - (0.163 × Age)
Women: VO₂max = same as men - 5 (approximate adjustment)
