VO2max by cycling

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi,

I have a question about the function Cycling VO2max in combination with Garmin Connect. If I call up the data under Health/ VO2max, I see the course of my increase, or current 'status of my oxygen uptake. If I call up the function for cycling in the menu, it says "No data available"!
The activity was properly started as an action. Why is there no data available? Who can explain the correct procedure to me?

Thank you and greetings, Stefan

stevebiker - The vivoactive 3 is not compatible with a power meters. Power is one of the components that is needed to create a VO2 max estimate while cycling. So the answer to your question is that the vivoactive 3 will not be able to ever show a VO2 Max estimate for cycling.

Thank you very much for your answer. Then why does it work when I walk, or where does the data come from?

stevebiker - This data during walking or running comes from Time, Speed/Distance, and Heart Rate. (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate)
