VO2Max Value on Skierg

[Dpoleit89]

Hello to all!

Is there any vo2max calculator for skierg?

I have used the one on c2 site is both for row and skierg so i don't trust it that much.
I would want to take a vo2max test but here in Italy they do it on a treadmill or a bikerg and I'm not good at it.

Your SkiErg pace is more-or-less comparable to your RowErg pace. Most, but not all, find SkiErg a bit harder than RowErg, and RowErg a bit harder than BikeErg, for the same pace.

Since VO2 estimate without measuring O2 is pretty much a wild guess anyway, I wouldn't worry about the difference between machines. If your max-effort pace is best on the SkiErg, use that.

Probably for me it is the opposite, being Skierg easier than Rowerg but, for now, don't train on it.
I train many hours per year but I don't think i'm that good, that's why those numbers seems a bit high.
