Target

The aim of this test is to find out your VO2max.
VO2max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during intense exercise. It is a common measurement used to establish the aerobic endurance of an athlete. This is one of the many tests used to determine the cardiovascular condition and performance capacity of an athlete.
The higher your aerobic capacity, the more you decrease your necessary recovery time between explosive efforts during a match.


Equipment

Requires sports and medical laboratory equipment or the value of VMA (Maximum Aerobic Speed) in km / h



Help

Requires a sports doctor for this test.


Instructions

You can do this test by asking your sports doctor. Usually this test is performed on a stationary bicycle but also on a treadmill.

VO2 max is measured in milliliters of oxygen used in one minute per kilogram of body weight (mL/kg/min).

Cristiano Ronaldo has a VO2Max of 75, Neymar 73.

You can deduce the value of VO2max with the VMA: VO2max = 3.5 x VMA (km / h)
