VO2 Max Test

A VO2 Max test measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise, reflecting your aerobic fitness level. During the test, you typically perform progressively harder exercise on a treadmill or cycle while wearing a mask that analyzes your breathing. The test continues until you reach your limit, where your oxygen intake plateaus despite increasing effort. This measurement helps assess cardiovascular health, endurance capacity, and overall fitness. It’s widely used by athletes, trainers, and health professionals to evaluate fitness levels and design personalized training programs.
