In short, what is VO2 Max?

When exercising, your body must have enough oxygen to perform at its optimum. Athletes, who participate in endurance sports like cycling and running, take into consideration the importance of oxygen when they are training and competing. The most popular measurement athletes use is maximal oxygen consumption or VO2 max. VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen one’s body can process to produce energy or maximum aerobic capacity. Technically broken down the meaning of VO2 max are as follows; V = volume, O2 = chemical formula for oxygen, and max = maximum abbreviated. The better your VO2 max, the better your body can perform under strenuous conditions.

I constantly work at improving my VO2 max, and maintaining it at as high a level as possible, and not let it slide, as it is hard work to notch it up a level or two. Below, VO2 max indication charts which one can compare yourself against. 👉 VO2 max explained by a runner, and how to improve it!
