What is VO₂ Max?

VO₂ max measures how much oxygen your body can use during exercise. It’s one of the most accurate indicators of cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and overall performance.

What does it reveal?

Your VO₂ max reflects how efficiently your heart, lungs, and muscles work together. Higher levels are linked to better fitness, stronger energy, and healthier aging.

Why it matters

VO₂ max adds a performancebased dimension to traditional health metrics. It helps assess fitness, personalize exercise plans, monitor progress, and support longterm wellness goals.
