AirPods Pro 3 to estimate my VO2 max (cardio fitness)

Can I use my AirPods Pro 3 to estimate my VO2 max (cardio fitness)? I’m able to connect them and measure my heart rate, but I can’t find a way to use them as a data source for cardio fitness.

iPhone 16e, iOS 26

Only Apple Watch (or compatible external sensors used by Apple Watch) can generate Apple’s VO₂ max estimates
