Classification of cardiorespiratory fitness based on maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂ max – mL/kg.min) of the male and female sedentary population from the original study and according to the new cardiorespiratory fitness chart proposed in this study

Men
Age group (years)	Very Low	Low	Fair	Good	Excellent
15 – 24					VO2 = 47.4
25 – 34					VO2 = 41.9
35 – 44					VO2 = 39.9
45 – 54					VO2 = 35.6
55 – 64					VO2 = 30.0
65 – 74		VO2 = 23.2
Women
15 – 24					VO2 = 35.6
25 – 34					VO2 = 34.0
35 – 44					VO2 = 30.0
45 – 54					VO2 = 27.2
55 – 64					VO2 = 23.9
65 – 74					VO2 = 21.2
