What is VO2 Max testing?

VO2 Max is one of the best current predictors of Healthspan and lifespan.

VO2 Max testing represents a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This examination entails participants following a graded exercise protocol on a treadmill while wearing an oxygen consumption-measuring mask. The exercise intensity progressively escalates until the participant reaches their peak effort, enabling our skilled clinicians to ascertain the maximum volume of oxygen their body can efficiently utilize.

Termed VO2 Max, this measurement acts as a pivotal gauge of aerobic capacity and overall cardiovascular well-being, additionally providing precise heart rate zones essential for customizing exercise plans. These results not only offer valuable insights for athletes seeking performance enhancement but also facilitate the tailoring of exercise recommendations and the identification of potential health concerns, thus contributing to a comprehensive approach to managing healthspan.
