Fitness Age Calculation Formula
The Fitness Age is calculated using the following formula:
Fitness Age = Actual Age - Average Score
The Average Score is determined from various fitness components, each contributing points based on specific criteria:
- Physical Activity Level:
- Sedentary: Little or no exercise (0 points)
- Lightly active: Light exercise or sports 1-3 days/week (3 points)
- Moderately active: Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days/week (5 points)
- Very active: Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days a week (7 points)
- Super active: Very hard exercise or sports, physical job, or training twice a day (9.5 points)
- Resting Heart Rate (RHR):
- 55-59 bpm (0 points)
- 60-63 bpm (3 points)
- 64-67 bpm (5 points)
- 68-69 bpm (7 points)
- 70-72 bpm (9.5 points)
- Strength Test Result (Number of Push-ups):
- 5-10 push-ups (1 point)

- Overweight (25 - 29.9) (6 points)
- Obesity I (30 - 34.9) (3 points)
- Obesity II & III (≥ 35) (1 point)
Example Calculation
Actual Age: 30 years
Physical Activity Level: Very active (7 points)
Resting Heart Rate: 65 bpm (5 points)
Strength Test Result: 20 push-ups (6 points)
Body Composition (BMI): 23.5 (Normal) (10 points)
Average Score Calculation:
(7 + 5 + 6 + 10) / 4 = 28 / 4 = 7
Fitness Age Calculation:
Fitness Age = 30 - 7 = 23 years
Therefore, the calculated Fitness Age is 23 years.
