Oura, the smart ring company, is adding two new cardiovascular health tracking features to its latest smart rings. These features aim to help users better understand the long-term effects of their regular workouts. The two new features are Cardio Effort and automatic VO2 Max. Cardio Effort measures how hard a user's cardiovascular system is working during exercise and compares their weekly effort to a personalized baseline.
It provides ratings from Light to Reaching, indicating the strain on the cardiovascular system. Meanwhile, the automatic VO2 Max, still in beta, estimates a user's maximum oxygen uptake after five GPS-enabled activities and provides insights into changes in aerobic capacity over time. Both features are available for users with an active Oura membership and the newer Oura Ring Gen 3 and later models.
