Your test provides data on how much oxygen you use as you exercise and determines the maximal oxygen you can consume during exercise. This is a gold-standard measurement of endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with VO2 max, your ventilatory threshold is also measured from your expired air. We are able to use this information to further analyze your fitness level. This threshold is the exercise intensity that your muscles are fatiguing from lactic acid buildup and the intensity you cannot maintain for long. Essentially, this is just above the level at which you train. With training, your ventilatory threshold will increase and get closer to your VO2 max.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther testing information useful for an athlete in training includes the peak heart rate achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of VO2 max testing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate measurement of current fitness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to design a more effective training program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluation of the effectiveness of training programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrediction of maximal steady-state running speed or cycling wattage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVO₂ Max Testing Steps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
