OpenStrap already captures resting heart rate, workout HR streams, age, sex, height, and weight from Apple Health — enough to estimate VO2 max without requiring a dedicated lab test or even a GPS-tracked outdoor run.
HR-ratio method (simple, HR-only):
VO2max ≈ 15.3 × (HRmax / HRresting)
HRresting — already available from HKQuantityTypeIdentifierRestingHeartRate (recent average)
HRmax — either (a) the highest recorded HR across logged workouts, or (b) age-predicted via 220 - age as a fallback when no high-intensity data exists

So my estimate was around like 61 ml/kg/min
But on OmniCalculator
It's around 65 ml/kg/min
Would be happy if this feature adds
