The Science
VO₂ max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise. It reflects cardiovascular efficiency, endurance capacity, and overall aerobic fitness.
A higher VO₂ max means better oxygen delivery to muscles, leading to improved performance and reduced fatigue. This metric is essential for tracking fitness progress, optimizing training, and assessing overall health.
Benefits
Performance Optimization
Determines aerobic capacity and helps refine training zones.
Fitness Tracking
Establishes a baseline and monitor improvement overtime.
Longevity Indicator
Strong indicator of longevity, as it reflects the body’s ability to deliver and use oxygen efficiently — a key factor in overall cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Training Prescription
Guides intensity levels for maximizing efficiency and performance gains.
Functional Health
Predicts the ability to perform daily activities without excessive fatigue.
Inisghts
VO2 Max
VO₂ max is the maximum rate at which your body can take in, transport, and use oxygen during intense exercise. It reflects the efficiency of your heart, lungs, and muscles working together. Higher VO₂ max = better aerobic fitness and endurance capacity.
VO2 Max Percentile
Compares your score to others in your age and gender group.
Maximum Heart Rate
The highest heart rate you reach during the test.
Heart Rate Training Zones
Personalized training zones based on your max heart rate.
Ventilatory Threshold
Identifies the point where your body shifts from an aerobic to an anerobic effort, useful for optimizing endurance training.
