Estimate aerobic capacity from a heart-rate ratio or a timed running effort.
Change the inputs that matter to your decision. Optional assumptions stay collapsed until you need them.
Choose the simple heart-rate ratio or a running performance estimate.

Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.
It is an estimate of maximal oxygen use relative to body mass, often used as one indicator of aerobic fitness.
It is a simple population-based estimate. A controlled laboratory test is more direct and can produce a different result.
