VO2max
Description
Maximum oxygen consumption, VO2max, is measured by spiroergometry on human and animal organisms capable of controlled physical exercise performance on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. VO2max is the maximum respiration of an organism, expressed as the volume of O2 at STPD consumed per unit of time per individual [mL.min-1.x-1]. If normalized per body mass of the individual, M [kg.x-1], mass specific maximum oxygen consumption, VO2max/M, is expressed in units [mL.min-1.kg-1]. For conversion to SI units of amount of oxygen consumed, VO2max is multiplied by the conversion factor of 0.744 to obtain JO2max [µmol O2∙s-1].
