Physical fitness is very important for longevity and good health. The maximal oxygen uptake is the most precise measure of overall cardiovascular fitness.

To investigate the distribution of maximal oxygen uptake across a healthy, adult population, they at the Cardiac Exercise Research Group tested more than 4,600 healthy Norwegians between 20 and 90 years of age.

Average Fitness Numbers

The mean maximal oxygen uptake in women and men were 35 and 44 mL/kg/min, respectively. The material suggested a ~7% decline in maximal oxygen uptake with every 10 year age increase in both genders.

Age-group Women Men

Mean maximal oxygen uptake across the age-groups

20-29 years 43 mLkg-1min-1 54 mLkg-1min-1
30-39 years 40 mLkg-1min-1 49 mLkg-1min-1
40-49 years 38 mLkg-1min-1 47 mLkg-1min-1
50-59 years 34 mLkg-1min-1 42 mLkg-1min-1
60-69 years 31 mLkg-1min-1 39 mLkg-1min-1
