VO2 Peak

VO2 Peak refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It measures your aerobic capacity and indicates how efficiently your cardiovascular and respiratory systems deliver oxygen to your muscles. A higher VO2 Peak typically means better endurance and cardiovascular health. It’s often tested through controlled exercise, like treadmill or cycling tests, where the highest oxygen consumption during the activity is recorded. VO2 Peak can be a useful indicator of overall fitness and is used by athletes and healthcare providers to assess physical performance and health status.
