What is VO2 Max
Perhaps the most important metric for longevity and health in 2024
V=Volume (actually volume per unit time in this case)
O2= oxygen
VO2 = volume of oxygen that can be utilized per unit time
VO2 Max = the maximum volume of oxygen that can be utilized during maximal exertion
Most often Expressed as:
ml/kg/min (milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute)
This is the gold standard for measuring cardiorespiratory fitness in medicine, exercise science, and research. The best way to measure VO2 max is with a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET test). This is performed by hooking a person up to a closed breathing circuit via a facemask and measuring both inhaled and exhaled O2 and CO2. Other methods for estimating VO2 Max also exist. We will discuss measuring VO2 Max more thoroughly in part 2.
