FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to physiology, and can be used to estimate maximum oxygen consumption (MOC) by an organism. Person being tested performs a step test, during which pulse frequency is determined. Step test is carried out for 4 minutes, and squats are performed at the fifth minute. MOC is calculated by formula 
, where V is the MOC volume, l/min; P is the work done in the fifth minute in the process of squatting, J/min. Work done in the fifth minute in the process of squatting is determined by the formula P = 0.754 mg(H-h)kn, where P is the work done in the fifth minute in the process of squatting, J/min; m is human body weight, kg; g is free fall acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s2; H and h are the height from the centre of gravity of the body of the person being tested to the floor, respectively, in a standing and sitting position, m; k - coefficient taking into account peculiarities of muscles work during squatting, equal to 1.5; n is the number of squats per minute; the position of the centre of gravity of the body is the point corresponding to the beginning of the fold of the buttocks. MOC value per unit of body weight of the person being tested is calculated by the formula ν = 1000 V/m, where ν is the value of MOC per unit of body weight, ml/min/kg. MOC value is calculated for estimates of very high, high, medium, low, very low, ml/min/kg as x1-x5 respectively for women and y1-y5 for men. MOC of the body is assessed by correlating the MOC value per unit of body weight of the person being tested (ν) and values x1-x5 for women and y1-y5 for men.
EFFECT: method provides the MOC assessment by correlating the MOC value per body weight unit of the person being tested and the MOC values depending on the age.
