Whether you’re a cyclist, runner, swimmer, or any sport, knowing your VO2 max gives you an edge. Knowing your current VO2 max is key to understanding and improving your fitness. It serves as a baseline measurement of your fitness level today, and it can inform your training to improve your VO2 max readings in the future. You won't automatically run, ride or ski faster if you increase your VO2 max. But raising your score will make it easier to go faster and to sustain a given pace in any aerobic activity you do. #vo2max #fitness #cardioworkout #cardiohealth #longevity

VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise. The greater your VO2 max, the more oxygen your body can consume, and the more effectively your body can use that oxygen to generate the maximum amount of energy. This means that your body can better handle aerobic fitness activities that require a lot of oxygen intake like running, swimming, and other types of cardio. Who should improve their VO₂ max? Everyone! A high VO2 max can be a good predictor of athletic performance, and while oxygen uptake is frequently used for athletes, is not just for athletes. Everyone — no matter their athletic ability — should try to increase their cardiorespiratory endurance. According to research, a higher VO2 max is associated with better longevity!
