VO2 max ! - Amazfit

Hello everyone
Has anyone done vo2 max testing with STRATOS with results?
When I do an exercise and I will consult the vo2 I always get the message in the app "the current device can not provide this data"
I also never had any results in the graphic "performance condition"
Can anyone help? Obigado

That is because you are using a PACE.

I tried to measure the vo2max with the stratos but I did not do it even though I had put it in a running program and I had to do it for continuous cardiac measurements and while I was running for 20 minutes it did not take me measurement . What did I do wrong?

73. The maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max)
Maximum oxygen uptake refers to the human body in the maximum intensity of exercise can intake of oxygen content is an important indicator of human aerobic exercise capacity. As one of the important reference data of endurance athletes, high level maximum oxygen uptake is the basis of high level aerobic exercise ability.
The maximum oxygen uptake is relatively personal, with different reference standards for different genders and age groups. The watch evaluates your athletic ability based on your personal information, heart rate and speed during exercise, and changes as your athletic ability changes. Of course, everyone will have their own maximum oxygen uptake limit, which is determined by the individual.
74. How to get the maximum oxygen uptake?
1) Enter accurate personal information in AMAZFIT Watch App;
2) wear a watch for successful positioning and record at least 10 minutes of outdoor running track, and to produce heart rate and reach the maximum heart rate of 75%;
3) After running, you can view your current maximum oxygen uptake level in the watch’s motion recording function or the personal status page in the AMAZFIT Watch App;
Note: At present, only the outdoor run to assess the maximum oxygen uptake, and other sports are not.

no VO2 max on Stratos
Hi! I have followed the instruction from the Stratos manual, took a running session for more than 20 mins with the HR above 75% of the maximum heart rate. I have used Polar H10 as external sensor, connected to the watch and I also had bluetooth headphones connected. GPS was on and recorded precisely the trajectory. Unfortunately VO2max still shows „no data”. Should I enable Huami Lab or any other feature in order to compute VO2? Thanks!

Hi
VO2/Max does work well on the Stratos and gives pretty much identical results to Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, as long as you use external HRM on both.
Firstly, you only get a VO/2 max score on running - no other activities provide a VO2/Max score, even cycling.
To get a VO2/Max score you must do multiple runs to be given your first score- you will know when VO2/Max is starting to get enough data for a score as you will start to get an alert during the first 10 minutes of a run for example: a green alert if improving ie +3 Good or a red alert -1 etc if worse then usual. When you start to see these alerts the device and learnt enought about you to get a VO2/Max score.
Make sure you are using an external HRM - the internal heart rate monitor is not fit for purpose so any VO2/Max score is less than worthless if using internal HRM.
So - to summaries, at first do at least 2 runs a week, at least 20 minutes a time, and try to keep in zone 3 or above and you will be finally given a VO2/Max score, you should see a score after about 6 runs I estimate.

Thank you very much for the useful reply, cumbrianrunner!
After the 4th running session something new happened, I was asked if I want to save the running session in my training day and now appears as a Fartlek running. Before this 4th session I have also activated the Huami Lab - most probably not related to VO2max calculation though. Anyway now the VO2 max is displayed. :fingers-crossed:
