VO2 Max Estimation (Seismofit)

VO2 Max (maximal oxygen uptake) is widely regarded as the single best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity. It represents the maximum volume of oxygen the body can use during intense exercise, measured in millilitres per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Higher VO2 Max values are associated with better endurance performance, improved metabolic health, and — according to a growing body of epidemiological research —…

Traditional VO2 Max testing requires a graded exercise test on a treadmill or cycle ergometer with a gas-exchange mask — a demanding protocol that many individuals find uncomfortable or inaccessible. Dexa Bodyscan Copenhagen offers an alternative approach using Seismofit technology, which estimates VO2 Max through a non-invasive, resting-state measurement. The client lies on the Seismofit device for approximately 15 minutes while sensors capture…

While resting-state VO2 Max estimation does not replace the precision of a maximal exercise test with direct gas exchange measurement, Seismofit provides a useful baseline assessment that is accessible, comfortable, and repeatable. The non-invasive format makes it particularly suitable for individuals who are new to fitness testing, those with physical limitations that prevent maximal exercise tests, or anyone who wants a quick cardiovascular health check…
