Interesting to see how this compared to actual tests: Calculating VO2 Max Multiply your average wattage from the field test(20min FTP) by 10.8. Divide that number by your weight in kilograms. Add seven to that number to calculate your VO2 max. For example, if you averaged 300 watts during the field test and weighed 80 kg, your VO2 max would be 47.5 mL/(kg x min). Comparing Results On average, untrained athletes have a VO2 max of 36 to 72 mL (kg x min) for men and 26 to 42 for women. Trained men average 50 to 70 and trained women usually fall between 40 and 60. Elite athletes usually have a VO2 max over 60 for men and over 50 for women. For example, former champion cyclist Greg LeMond scored a VO2 max of 92.5 with the current record holder being Norwegian cyclist Oskar Svedsen with a score of 97.5.
