Life Fitness developed this rating scale based on VO2 max percentile distributions referenced in American College of
Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" (7th Ed. 2006) which were obtained from the data
collected by the Cooper Institute Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, 1970-2002. It is designed to provide a qualit ative
description of a user’s VO2 max estimation; and a means of guiding assessment and tracking improvement.
