How to Calculate Sports Performance

What is Sports Performance?

Sports performance calculators estimate VO2max, one-rep max, race time predictions, training paces, and fitness assessments to help athletes train scientifically.

Formula

VO2max estimate (Cooper test): VO2max = (distance in m − 504.9) / 44.73

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1VO2max estimate (Cooper test): VO2max = (distance in m − 504.9) / 44.73
  2. 2One-rep max (Epley): 1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30)
  3. 3Riegel's race predictor: T₂ = T₁ × (D₂/D₁)^1.06
  4. 4Training paces based on % of race pace or HRmax

Worked Examples

Input
Cooper test: 2,400m in 12 minutes
Result
VO2max ≈ (2400 − 504.9) / 44.73 ≈ 42.4 mL/kg/min (Average)
