V̇O 2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. [1] [2] The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V̇" for volume (the dot over the V indicates "per unit of time" in Newton's notation), "O 2" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum and usually normalized per kilogram of ...
Submaximal performance testing is a way of estimating either VO 2 max or "aerobic fitness" in sports medicine.The test protocols do not reach the maximum of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
Deputy Editor Tara Seplavy and Senior Test Editor Dan Chabanov dive into VO2 max for training, quick links for chains, and replacing your bike computer.
A variety of factors can influence your VO2 max, including your gender, genetics, and fitness level—which means you can train to improve your VO2 max, thereby increasing your tolerance for hard ...
VO2 Max by Age Chart Wondering what’s a typical rate of decline for VO₂ max? The chart below contains research-based averages of VO₂ max by age and fitness level, for men and women.
The test score is the time taken on the test, in minutes. This can also be converted to an estimated maximal oxygen uptake score using the calculator below and the following formulas, where the value "T" is the total time completed (expressed in minutes and fractions of a minute e.g. 9 minutes 15 seconds = 9.25 minutes). As with many exercise ...
All cyclists want to ride farther, faster, and with less effort. The secret is your VO2 max. Here's how to much it to the next level.
Cycling, rowing, swimming and running are some of the main sports that push VO 2 levels to the maximum. Ventilatory threshold and lactate threshold are expressed as a percentage of VO 2 max; beyond this percentage the ability to sustain the work rate rapidly declines as high intensity but short duration energy systems such as glycolysis and ATP ...
