Vo2 Max

Hello team, My VO2 max not working even after 30 days . What to do ?

Always start by restarting the watch. That usually helps. Then do a sync with Garmin Express.

What activitiies are you logging?

VO2 max is calculated for running outdoors with GPS. It also works with cycling but a power meter is required.

Obrigado 

Hi , thanks for replying. Yes i have restarted it already but still not working. Do you mean factory reset ? Iam logging heavy badminton 3 times a week but no running and cycling . What to do ? Already purchased more than 30 days and wearing regularly .

No need for a factory reset. Badminton will not give you any VO2 max values. You must do running outdoors. For biking a power meter is required. 

Ohk clear . So is it ok to run for 5 km minimum and then it will trigger VO2 no matter in future I run or not ? Or its mandatory for few kms per week o run , let say to get VO2max ?

You should get a VO2 max if you meet the requirements listed below. What are you going to use that value for? If you need it for training status you must log 1-2 VO2 max values per week to keep a training status. 

The requirements:

• Running activity must be 10 minutes or longer.

• Activity must be recorded outdoors with a GPS signal.

• Heart rate data from a built-in optical heart rate sensor or from a chest strap.

• Heart rate must be elevated to at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes continuously.
