Cardio Fitness / VO2Max data Generation

Is this exclusive to the Apple Watch Workout app? If I make a third party workout app, and use a workout builder to create a running workout, will that workout still cause VO2Max values to be generated?

Provided you use HKLiveWorkoutBuilder to run a workout with your third party app, you should get VO2Max and Cardio Recovery values generated.

Is there any documentation or guides anywhere to indicate the duration/type/intensity of workout required to generate these VO2Max and Cardio Recovery values?
