Validity of Estimating the Maximal Oxygen Consumption by Consumer Wearables: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis and Expert Statement of the INTERLIVE Network.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technological advances have recently made possible the estimation of maximal oxygen consumption (VO_2max) by consumer wearables. However, the validity of such estimations has not been systematically summarized using meta-analytic methods and there are no standards guiding the validation protocols.

Objective

The aim was to (1) quantitatively summarize previous studies investigating the validity of the VO_2max estimated by consumer wearables and (2) provide best-practice recommendations for future validation studies.

Methods

First, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies validating the estimation of VO_2max by wearables. Second, based on the state of knowledge (derived from the systematic review) combined wi
