Multistage Fitness Test Table

The following is a table of predicted maximum oxygen uptake values (VO2 Max) for the Multistage Fitness Test. It was developed by the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science Loughborough University, 1987.

A copy of the Multi-Stage Fitness Test can be purchased from Coachwise 1st4Sport.

MSFT Vo2 max Tables
