Notes
- A 1% incline is the common convention to compensate for the missing air resistance indoors at typical training speeds.
- The ACSM equation is calibrated for steady submaximal running; very steep or very fast settings extrapolate.
- Educational estimate for sport and training purposes, not professional coaching or medical advice.
