“There is an existence of a finite rate of oxygen consumption that exists during intense exercise, of which no further effort will increase.” – A.V. Hill and Colleagues 1923 Identification of VO2max The pioneering work of A.V. Hill, Hartley Lupton, and...
Maximal Oxygen Consumption Maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) describes the bodies’ ability to maximally uptake oxygen from the atmosphere, and utilize it in the skeletal muscle mitochondria during intense full-body exercise. VO2max is considered the gold-standard for...
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) and its relationship to whole-body health and performance. The Basics. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) is the maximal rate of oxygen a person can uptake and use during intense physical activity. Typically, VO₂max is reported in...
Elite level endurance performance requires an athlete to have a large (>70 ml/kg/min) aerobic engine (VO2max) of which a high percentage (75-90%) of that maximal value can be maintained for upwards of 2 hours. This combination is augmented further by the ability to...
“There is an existence of a finite rate of oxygen consumption that exists during intense exercise, of which no further effort will increase.”- A.V. Hill and Colleagues 1923 Identification of VO2max The pioneering work of A.V. Hill, Hartley Lupton, and...
Elite level endurance performance is thought to be dictated by a combination of an athlete’s VO2max, metabolic threshold, and efficiency/economy. This combination results in the ability of the athlete to maximally uptake and utilize oxygen, while maintaining energy...
