Body Mass Index Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI provides an estimate of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems. It is calculated based on height and weight. BMI does not, however, measure body fat directly. Factors such as age, gender, and muscularity may impact BMI. BMI classifications: <18.5 Underweight, 18.5-24.9 Normal, 25.0-29.9 Overweight, 30.0+ Obese.

VO2 Max (Rockport Walk Test) Calculator

VO2max is a measure of your cardiorespiratory fitness. The Rockport Walk Test is a field test used to estimate VO2max. To complete the test, walk one mile (a flat surface such as the SRWC track is best) and record your time in minutes and seconds. As soon as you finish the mile, take your heart rate for 15 seconds and multiple that number by 4 for your 1-minute heart rate. The higher your VO2max, the better. Norm values for VO2max can be found at www.topendsports.com/testing/vo2norms.htm.
