VO2 max measures the maximal oxygen an individual can use during intense exercise, indicating aerobic endurance. It’s the maximum oxygen amount (milliliters per minute per kilogram of body weight) used during maximal exercise. Medical studies have concluded that improving cardiovascular capacity prolongs lifespan. All athletes, including the sedentary, beginners, recreational and elite, benefit from training programs that improve VO2 Max.
