VO

is the maximum capacity for oxygen consumption by your body during maximum exertion. This is also known as
aerobic power or maximal oxygen intake/consumption. VO

is a commonly used determinant of aerobic (cardiovascular)
fitness. The most accurate way of determining your individual VO
2max
is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a
