The VO2max test, also known as maximal oxygen uptake, is a functional assessment that allows us to determine the body’s aerobic capacity. From this test we can obtain key training parameters:
- VO2max and the related intensity ranges to use in your training
- Target intensities for aerobic and anaerobic thresholds
- Optimal heart‑rate zones for your sessions
- Amount of energy expended at different workloads
- Guidelines for fat‑loss‑oriented training sessions
