V02 Max Testing
“VO2 Max is the best predictor of lifespan, quality of life & performance” - Dr. Peter Attia
About V02 Max Testing
A VO2 max test measures how much oxygen your body can consume during activity, and is considered the gold standard for assessing fitness, cardiopulmonary health and longevity.
Why get a vO2 Max Test?
A VO2 Max test at Atlanta Sports Recovery will help you optimize your training and health. The physiological insights from a VO2 Max reveals the exercise level that will optimize your ability to burn fat, increase heart and lung function and so much more. Your doctor (MD), coach, trainer or PT can use this info to help you get stronger and live longer.
How This Data Is Applies
•Better performance: getting an accurate measure of your V02Max a will help you understand how to get the most out of your training, burn fat & decrease fatigue.
•Live longer: when looking at VO2 max in relation to all-cause mortality, we see a very clear trend. Simply bringing your VO2 max from ‘low’ (bottom 25th percentile) to ‘below average’ (25th to 50th percentile) is associated with a 50% reduction in all-cause mortality. When you go from ‘low’ to ‘above average’ (50th to 75th percentile) the risk reduction is closer to 70%!
How The Test Works
A VO2 Max test at Atlanta Sports Recovery can be administered on a bike or treadmill. You will start out walking very slow and over 8-12 minutes we will gradually ramp up the intesity based on your age, goals and fitness level. Doing this will allow you to exert maximum effort (for you) and the gas exchange testing device will caputre all the data that we need to find out your VO2 max, heart rate zones, thresholds and so much more.
Anyone can do this test! We customize our protocol for each person we test. We have tested Olympic runners and 74-year old retired school teachers with multiple joint replacements. This won't hurt you, but it may challenge you.
