VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense exercise. This measurement is a great indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. The more oxygen a person can use during high level exercise, the more energy a person can produce. The test involves either exercising on a treadmill or a bike at an intensity that increases every few minutes until exhaustion, and is designed to achieve a maximal effort.
