What is VO₂ Max Testing

VO₂ Max (Maximum Oxygen Uptake) is the highest amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It is the most accurate indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness, aerobic endurance, and overall performance capacity.

Measured in ml/kg/min, VO₂ Max reflects how efficiently your heart, lungs, blood, and muscles work together to deliver and use oxygen during physical activity.
