Cycling VO2 Max (Suunto 9)

[fazel]

It appears Firstbeat can calculate VO2 Max for cycling (I know this is the case as it is present on my Garmin head unit), but it does not appear to be implemented with the 9. Can someone confirm this is the case? Or am I missing something. If it is the case, why was this omitted. Thanks!

Not 100% but I will ask

Thank you!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Hello is there any new information regarding VO2 max? I dont see it in my Suunto app. Also older sessions that were made with Movescount web app and which have VO2 max data in Movescount, I cant see this data in Suunto App.

@Sound-Lover
not for cycling in SA or with the S9.
But VO2max has not been there in MC afair. It was estimated VO2.

Any updates? this would be an excellent feature for those of us who don’t run!

It doesn’t work even with cadence tools?

[freeheeler]

@tomahawk5000
no, it’s from firstbeat and for running only

[tomahawk5000]

Does anybody know if the same is in Garmin’s watches?

@tomahawk5000
apparently yes, but you need a powermeter, too

@tomahawk5000 Garmin must have licensed VO2MAX for both running and cycling, but they are separate, and you need a power meter.

@isazi I’m not sure what do you mean by power meter. Could you please share any link to this ‘power meter’
Sorry for my English
