Hi there,

I experiensed vo2max issue last 7 days - vívoaitive 4s doesn't measure regularly vo2max during activities. Normally after each activity (run / walk) vo2max was indicated on display also it was saved and sync. Last 7 days it measure maybe 3 times (during 7 activities - each time 60 minuts run).

 Can you help?

Hello! Were these activities performed outdoors with GPS or indoors? Additionally, was your heart rate elevated to at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes continuously in these activities? Here is a helpful article that describes why the VO2 max could not be updating.

Hi Isabella,

acivities are performad outdoors, with GLONAS+GPS. Last update of vo2max is dated to 12.1. I'm not sure about heart rate (it's absolute value). For example today - walk (data from watch):

91-108 hr - 15:47 minutes

109-126 hr - 35:27 minutes

speed 6,5 km/h

temp 9:17 min/km

max hr: 126 (average 111)

Should it measure vo2max?

My VA4S has updated the VO2Max (same value, but new date) twice lately. Once for an indoor treadmill run, and once for an indoor spinning session. I didn't think the watch should use that kind of activities to update VO2Max.

This will be dependent of what your max heartrate is set up for in your Garmin Connect. 

where is this setup in garmin connect?
