Average population fitness

TrailRunner calculates a fitness index based on your workout performance. The fitness score is comparable to VO2max (maximal oxygen uptake in ml/min/kg), a commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness. VO2max is a good indicator of performance in endurance sports. The possible range of the fitness index goes from 25 (which can be measured for an unfit individual) to 95 (a level only reached by Olympic athletes). Based on a representative group of men and women, the following table gives average fitness values according to their age group (Fletcher et al. 1995).
AgeMenWomen
20-29 40-47 33-40
30-39 39-46 31-37
40-49 37-44 29-35
50-59 33-40 27-32
60-69 30-37 25-30
E.g. for a 33-year-old woman a fitness between 31-37 represents "average fitness" compared to other women of the same age. An index less than 31 is below the average and an index more than 37 is above the average. for a 33-year-old man, "average fitness" lies between 39-46.

Any Suggestions?

I am always interested in new map data. Especially in the Ogc/WMS format. If you know of any mapServers that support the getMap protocol with WGS84 projection then please tell me so I can add the service to this list and later implement an integration into the TrailRunner. Currently it won't be worth the effort. A very good example is this german site: http://www.geoserver.nrw.de/home/gbdaten.html
