How VO2 Max Testing Works:
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.
Why Performance Measurement is Crucial for Cardiorespiratory Fitness:
In today’s fitness world, you can’t improve what you don’t measure. VO2 Max testing gives you hard data on how your body performs at its peak, helping you avoid guesswork and start achieving real results. By knowing exactly how efficiently your body utilizes oxygen, you’ll understand where you can improve and how to get there, ultimately enhancing your physical fitness.
A higher VO2 max means your body can inhale more oxygen, leading to more energy for your workouts.
Regularly testing VO2 Max means you can track cardiovascular progress, identify areas for improvement, and stay on top of your fitness journey.
