The basics

What Is VO₂ Max?

VO₂ max is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. It tells us how well your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles work together to support physical activity.

How to think about VO₂ max

Think of VO₂ Max Like Your Engine System.

VO₂ Max reflects the size and efficiency of your body’s engine.

Bigger engine
More power, more capacity
Smaller engine
Less output, can fatigue faster

VO₂ Max reflects how well this entire system works together.

Why it matters for longevity

One of the Most Important Measures of Cardiovascular Fitness

Cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly associated with long-term health. Large observational studies have found that people with higher cardiovascular fitness tend to have a lower risk of premature death.1,2

VO₂ max is a valuable indicator of aerobic fitness. Measuring it gives you a clear starting point for understanding and improving your cardiovascular conditioning.
