VO2max

VO2max, or maximal oxygen uptake, measures the highest amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. It reflects your cardiovascular and respiratory systems' efficiency in delivering oxygen to your muscles and your muscles' ability to utilize that oxygen for energy. A higher VO2max indicates better endurance and aerobic fitness. It's often used by athletes to assess fitness levels, but it can also provide insight into overall health and heart function. Factors like genetics, training, age, and activity level influence VO2max. Improving it through aerobic exercise can enhance your stamina and cardiovascular health.
