There are several ways to measure physical fitness. The BODY BIKE Indoor Cycling app offers a VO2 Max Test, a type of ramp test where power output increases every 2 minutes.
This test is not influenced by gender or age. Studies have shown that indoor cycling efficiency is relatively consistent across different demographics, meaning individuals producing the same power output will likely have similar oxygen consumption.
The test accuracy has been validated using specialized equipment to measure oxygen uptake. After completing the test, the BODY BIKE app will provide your relative VO2 max (oxygen consumption relative to weight) and FTP (Functional Threshold Power).
If you haven’t taken the VO2 Max Test but need an estimated FTP, the app can calculate it for you in the “Personal settings” or you can use the “Find your FTP” table to input an approximate value.
