The highest volume of oxygen a person can consume during exercise. Often used as a predictor of potential in endurance sports.
The maximum rate at which a given athlete can consume oxygen. The higher an athlete's VO2 max, the faster he or she can run, swim, bike, etc. without accumulating excess lactic acid in the working muscles, which causes fatigue.
The maximum oxygen uptake; measured during exercise and expressed in kilograms per minute.
Maximum rate of oxygen uptake per minute.
a measure of the upper limits of oxygen delivery from capillaries to the entire body during exercise. Low VO2 max is commonly seen in chronically short-of-breath mold patients
this is based on the amount of oxygen that a person can use in a work out of one minute, the higher the vo2 max rating the more efficient the body will be when performing regimes.
This is the maximum volume of oxygen an individual can consume per minute of work.
The maximum amount of oxygen a person can utilize per minute of work. Often written down as an evaluation of a persons cardiovascular efficiency
Also known as, "maximum oxygen consumption." the largest amount of oxygen your body can suck in and process. Highly trained endurance athletes have high VO2s.
The Maximum amount of oxygen (measured in millimeters) one can use in one minute per 2.2 pounds (or 1 kilogram) of body weight. This is a measure of an athlete's capacity to generate energy of an extended period at a high level of activity.
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be used by the body in one minute. Matthew Pinsent has a VO2 Max of eight and a half litres, the largest ever recorded in the UK.
(see also Maximal Oxygen Consumption) - The maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize in a set period of time (generally expressed as a volume i.e. liters per min). It can also be normalized per kilogram of body weight (i.e. ml per kg BW per min). It is a measurement of the upper limit of aerobic muscle cell metabolism and is dependent on both the maximal cardiac output and the maximal arterial-venous oxygen difference at the muscle or tissue level.
The largest volume of oxygen your body can take in and assimilate. This figure is very high in trained endurance athletes.
VO2 max is the maximum capacity to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise. (The derivation is V̇ - volume per time, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum). It is also called maximal oxygen consumption or maximal oxygen uptake.
