Plus, building on our latest groundbreaking research on cardiorespiratory fitness, measured through VO2 max, Vitality now introduces Vitality Cardio Fitness Levels. Cardio fitness is a powerful indicator of one's potential for a long and healthy life, with even a moderate improvement in VO2 max reducing the risk of death by 21-30%. By understanding and improving VO2 max, individuals can lower their risk of cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes and more.
To integrate the importance of cardio fitness into the Vitality programme, your VO2 max readings will now be categorised into five Vitality Cardio Fitness Levels: low, fair, good, excellent, and superior. and you can earn up to 10,000 Vitality points depending on your Vitality Cardio Fitness Level.
