Study Notes
VO2 Max & Endurance Performance
- VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of mortality
- VO2 max is the maximal rate of oxygen that can be taken in, transported, and utilized by the body to perform work
- VO2 max can be measured using a submaximal test, with 4 stages of exercise
- VO2 max can be measured using a maximal test, with a plateau of oxygen consumption
- Maximal oxygen consumption = maximal oxygen uptake = maximal aerobic power = VO2 max
- Secondary criteria for VO2 peak include age-predicted max heart rate
- VO2 peak occurs when leveling off does not occur, likely limited by local muscular factors
Measuring VO2 Max
- VO2 max is a measure of aerobic fitness
- Maximal oxygen consumption is reached when the body can no longer increase oxygen uptake
- Testing VO2 max involves determining the highest oxygen consumption achieved during exercise
- VO2 max is typically measured in milliliters per kilogram per minute (mL/kg/min)
- Volitional exhaustion when the individual is unable to continue exercising is a criterion for VO2 max
