Frequently Asked Questions

Is a calculated estimate the same as a measured result?

No. A formula summarizes a relationship observed under particular conditions. Technique, fatigue, body measurements and the testing protocol can change an actual performance or measurement.

Can I compare results from different formulas?

Check which equation and input definitions each page uses. A change caused by switching methods is not necessarily a change in fitness.
