VO2max Information
VO2max (also called maximal oxygen uptake) is a measure that trainers and doctors use to measure your cardiorespiratory fitness. PEAK uses open-circuit spirometry to accurately measure your VO2max. Athletes can use VO2max testing information to determine how intensely they should train and gauge results of a training program.
What to Expect
- Graded exercise test lasting 8-14 minutes (not including warm-up and cool-down)
- Can be completed on a treadmill or a bicycle
- Heart rate is monitored
- Athlete will wear a nose clip and mouthpiece to capture exhaled air
- Oxygen uptake is measured with a metabolic cart
- Results are available immediately after the test is completed
- PEAK exercise physiologist will explain results
