VO2 Max

VO2 Max is the the maximum amount of oxygen your body can take in and utilise during maximal or intense exercise. It is a good indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance capacity.

"I was a bit nervous about pushing myself to that level, but they ensured that everything was closely monitored and offered encouragement throughout." N.Thorn
