It's the amount of oxygen used by muscles each minute.
What does VO₂ max indicate?
What does VO₂ max indicate?
It shows the highest rate of oxygen use during exercise.
Define lung capacity.
Define lung capacity.
Total air the lungs can hold during breathing.
What is vital capacity?
What is vital capacity?
Maximum air expelled after a deep breath.
What is tidal volume?
What is tidal volume?
Air inhaled or exhaled in a normal breath.
Why is VO₂ max important for athletes?
