Here are the averages for Vo2 max. Remember, these are “averages” in population, not the norm. Just as 70% of Americans are overweight, this may be the average person, but it is not normal.

At First Principles Fitness we believe one should be between “Above average - High range”. These results are obtainable without being genetically gifted.

These averages are a representative of the general population, not athletes. To put in perspective the top endurance athletes in the world average 75-90 ml.kg.min. Over 50% higher than the “Elite” range on this chart.
