What is and how do you improve your VO2 max? There are lots of different metrics within sport; heart rate, cadence, calories, pace, and so on but one that always turns heads is Vo2 Max! With the help of channel partner Polar, we are going find what is VO2 Max & do a VO2 Max test!

We talk about a lot of different metrics within sport; such as heart rate, cadence, calories, pace, and so on but one that always turns heads is ‘Vo2 Max’!
You’ve likely all heard of the term Vo2 Max, and with advances in technology, being able to measure your Vo2 Max has become all that more easily accessible. In fact, even a watch can apparently tell us our Vo2 Max!
But actually what is Vo2 Max, and why is it thought to be so important? Well with the help of the sports science lab at Bath Uni and our channel partner Polar, we are going to be answering just that - including one of us actually doing a Vo2 Max Test!

In this example, the estimated VO2 Max is not too far off the measured one. However, wouldn't the accuracy of the estimate, based on resting heart rate and HRV be compromised by completing a max effort just earlier? Or maybe the ramp test was short enough to not increase the subject's fatigue/stress too much.

The factor you have not mentioned in regard to VO2 max is age! I am 66 years old and when tested 18 months ago in a lab on a bike, I had a VO2 max of 50mL/kg/min. The average value mentioned in your video was for a much younger person. The average for my age would be somewhere around 27mL/kg/min. It also seems that VO2 max varies with sport. My cycling VO2 max is higher than my VO2 max when running!

That's kind of a strange table you've provided on 8:55. Suppose I don't know my heart rate zones, but only know my V02 max value - 57. From the table I can calculate which training zone matches which V02 max range. E.g. Zone 1: 26-37 (of VO2 max). However, how do I now calculate a particular heart rate range from the corresponding VO2 max range? My Garmin watch doesn't show VO2 max ranges.

Its because they wanted to have their VO2max as their primary measure. In a perfect world VO2max tests should end in 9-12 minutes as to have the cardiopulmonary system be the reason for test termination, not muscular fatigue or shortage of energy substrates. A lactate of 7.7mmol/L is relatively low, but also consider the vast majority of the energy required for the VO2max test would have been produced aerobically, which produces minimal lactate. Now if they were to do a Wingate or Quebec test which examine anaerobic power and capacity, respectively, their lactate may be as high as 20mmol/L or exceed the measurement capabilities of the lactate analyzer.

VO2 is typically higher running than biking, though the amount varies by individual; so yes it's sport-specific. XC skiers typically register even higher VO2max numbers because more muscle groups are used. Similar to the running treadmill test, on a stationary bike/smart trainer you can do an increasing load test to failure and get your VO2max. Programs like Zwift, TrainerRoad, etc. even have this as a pre-programmed workout you can do. I use a Garmin, and it actually gives me different VO2max estimates for biking and running.

@@Jon-lf2dj VO2max varies across exercise modality and across which sport is your main one. For e.g., while it's fairly common knowledge that non-cyclists will score highest in running VO2max, a trained cyclist will score 100 - 105% of running VO2max, see Astrand and Rodahl, 1986. Additionally, even when asked to do extra work when for e.g. doing hand cranking while riding an ergometer VO2max doesn't increase further.
