What is VO2 Max?

VO2 Max is one of the most important factors in sports and fitness. It measures the maximum oxygen that your body can use during intense exercise. Understanding your VO2 max can improve your fitness and endurance during each training session. Whether you are a professional or casual athlete, knowing how VO2 max works can help you advance in your chosen sports. A high VO2 max indicates superior aerobic fitness. Generally, your VO2 max declines as you age.

How to improve VO2 Max?

There are many different ways you can improve your VO2 max such as aerobic exercises, interval training, long exercises, or strength training.

• Aerobic Exercises - Low to moderate-intensity activities such as jogging, cycling, and swimming. These exercises can improve your VO2 max slowly over time.
• Interval Training - High-intensity interval training (HIIT) such as running can significantly improve your VO2 max in the short term. However, once your VO2 max gets to a certain level, it will be difficult to improve it further and tough to keep up.
• Long Exercises - Long runs or bike rides help your endurance and will help you improve your VO2 max.
• Strength Training - Strength training does not improve your VO2 max directly. But as you gain muscles from strength training, it will make running, biking, or other aerobic exercises easier.
