Extrapolated VO
2
Max
KORR uses an algorithm based on well-validated studies to calculate an
extrapolated VO
2
Max, when a Sub-Max test is performed. This algorithm
utilizes both the trajectory of the heart rate measured during testing as well
as age-predicted max to determine the predicted VO
2
Max that would have
been observed had the client continued testing, or the extrapolated VO
2
Max. (See references 4 and 5).
