The more oxygen an athlete can use during exercise, the longer the athlete can keep producing enough ATP to meet the demands of the activity. VO2 max is considered (one of) the best indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness.
VO2 max can be measured through various tests, the most accurate performed in a sports performance laboratory with stringent protocols to insure accuracy. Specific increases in exercise speed and intensity are executed, while the volume and oxygen concentration of the athlete's inhaled and exhaled air is measured. This determines how much oxygen the athlete is consuming. VO2 max is the point oxygen consumption plateaus, even if the exercise intensity is increasing. ...
