What is vo2 max

VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It reflects aerobic capacity and endurance, indicating how efficiently your body can deliver oxygen to muscles and use it to produce energy.

Typically, a higher VO2 max corresponds to better aerobic fitness, allowing for prolonged physical activity. Factors influencing VO2 max include genetics, age, gender, and training level. To increase VO2 max, aerobic training, such as running or cycling, tends to be most effective.
