Editing Cooper test (section)

=== VO2 max estimate ===
The results can be correlated with [[VO2 max|VO<sub>2</sub> max]] by inverting the linear regression values presented in the original publication.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cooper |first1=Kenneth H. |title=A Means of Assessing Maximal Oxygen Intake: Correlation Between Field and Treadmill Testing |journal=JAMA |date=15 January 1968 |volume=203 |issue=3 |pages=203 |doi=10.1001/jama.1968.03140030033008 |url=https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.1968.03140030033008 |language=en |issn=0098-7484|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Formula:

:<math>\mathrm{VO_2\; max} = {d_{12} - 504.9 \over 44.73}</math>

where d<sub>12</sub> is distance (in metres) covered in 12 minutes, alternatively

:<math>\mathrm{VO_2\; max} = {35.97 \cdot d(\text{miles})_{12} - 11.29}</math>

where d(miles)<sub>12</sub> is distance (in miles) covered in 12 minutes.
