So there are really good VO2 max estimators online, and you can plug in your activity de jure, so be it a bike, run, or rowing machine, and it can give you a sense of that.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

And even if it's not precisely accurate, you can rest assured that it's going to allow you to track changes over time. So you plug your answers into the online calculator, it spits out a value and says your VO2 max is 38 or 45. And then you engage in some sort of training program for three or six months, and then you do it again. And if you see a directional change up or down, hopefully up, you can be reasonably confident that you know your training program has been effective at increasing your VO2 max, even if the precise number is not 100% accurate.
