VO2Max Testing for Endurance & Cardiovascular Fitness
What is a VO2 Max Test?
VO₂ Max (maximal oxygen uptake) is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise, expressed in ml/kg/min. It’s the gold-standard measure of aerobic capacity and a powerful indicator of cardiovascular fitness and overall health.
Why VO2 Max Matters
- Cardiovascular health: Higher VO₂ max is associated with lower cardiovascular risk.
- Performance: Sets accurate training zones for running, cycling, and swimming and helps track progress.
- Longevity & metabolism: Better aerobic capacity supports everyday energy, weight management, and long-term health.
How VO2 Max Is Measured
- Conducted on a treadmill or bike with an exercise mask connected to a metabolic cart to measure oxygen intake and CO₂ output.
- The workload increases in stages until peak effort is reached; we record heart rate, ventilation, and oxygen use to calculate your VO₂ max.
How It Works
You’ll complete a brief pre-screen, then warm up before a 8–15 minute graded exercise test. After a cool-down, we review your VO₂ max score, percentile, heart-rate zones, and personalized training guidance the same day so you can put the data to work immediately.
