VO2 max
Peak oxygen uptake
VO2 max is the maximum rate at which a person's body can consume oxygen during intense exercise, measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute.
It serves as a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.
Elite athletes typically have much higher VO2 max values than average people: Her VO2 max improved after months of interval training.
