How does VO2 Max Testing Work
Our VO2 Max testing measures how much oxygen your body uses and carbon dioxide it produces under varying levels of intensity. We start with a resting spirometry test to gauge your baseline, followed by a personalized “ramp” protocol, which gradually increases in intensity to measure your true potential. During this process, we analyze the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your inhaled and exhaled air to collect vital data like:
VO2 Max (oxygen consumption)
VCO2 (carbon dioxide production)
Heart Rate Training Zones
Breathing Frequency
We’ll use these key metrics to create a customized training plan, maximizing your potential to achieve goals faster.
