VO2Max values detected by my wearable are the same during different types of workouts

Problem:

The maximum oxygen uptake (VO2Max) values are the same during different types of workouts (such as running and walking).

Solution:

This is normal and does not indicate an issue with your device.

VO2Max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. Your VO2Max value will not change in a short period of time, even when you are engaged in different types of workout. You can improve your VO2Max through long-term training and exercise.

VO2Max is mainly affected by genetic factors and can be used as a reference for selecting endurance athletes. Long-term systematic training can increase VO2Max within a certain range. For people who do not regularly exercise, after the age of 25–30, VO2Max will gradually decrease. You can go to Huawei Health > Me > My data > VO2Max and tap in the upper right corner to view details.
