WHAT IS VO2 MAX

VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. VO2 max reflects cardiovascular fitness, aids in optimizing athletic performance, and serves as a predictor of overall health and longevity.

VO2 MAX TESTING: WHAT TO EXPECT

Benefits of VO2 Max Testing

VO2 max testing offers a comprehensive assessment of aerobic fitness, aiding in personalized training plans, performance monitoring, and health screening. By measuring maximal oxygen uptake during intense exercise, it provides precise data for establishing tailored exercise zones and tracking fitness improvements over time. Benefits include:

  • Accurate measurement of your current fitness
  • Allows coaches to design you a more effective training program
  • Determines effectiveness of your current training program

Measuring VO2 Max 

At Altitude we do clinical-grade VO2 Max testing with the PNOE device, which directly measures the volume and gas concentrations of inspired and expired air as you perform a maximal exercise test.

The test is done at sea-level and can be performed on your cardio equipment of choice: bike or treadmill. Although the test itself only takes around 12-15 minutes, an hour is typically needed for warm-up, the parameter check and going through the results afterwards. Following the test, you’ll receive a report with metrics including:

  • VO2 Max Score
  • Heart Rate Peak
  • Heart Rate Training Zones
  • Aerobic & Anaerobic Thresholds
