How is Cooper test VO2 max calculated?

VO2 max (ml/kg/min) = (Distance in meters − 504.9) ÷ 44.73. Running 2,800 m gives VO2 max of (2800 − 504.9) ÷ 44.73 = 51.3 ml/kg/min.

What is a good Cooper test distance?

Men 20–29 good: 2,400–2,800m; excellent: >2,800m. Women 20–29 good: 2,100–2,300m; excellent: >2,300m. Values decline by ~100m per decade.

Estimate VO2 max from the 12-minute Cooper running test distance using the Cooper equation for field-based cardiorespiratory fitness assessment.
