What is VO2Max
12 likes24,892 views
VO2max is the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize, serving as a key indicator of physical fitness and cardiovascular health, measured in ml/kg/min. Regular assessment of VO2max is recommended as it correlates with reduced risks of heart attacks, type 2 diabetes, and other health conditions. Revvo offers a convenient method for measuring VO2max with lab-standard accuracy, making it more accessible than traditional testing methods.
![What is VO2Max?
[Physical Fitness | Aerobic Capacity | Cardio Respiratory Fitness]
VO2Max = max oxygen the body can uBlize
The body uses oxygen to burn fuel to
produce energy – so more the oxygen
your body can use, more the energy you
can produce.
Its like the “engine size” of the human
body.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/whatisvo2max-170129033300/85/What-is-VO2Max-1-320.jpg)

VO2Max and Other Indicators Moderately High VO2Max (>41 for men and >36 for women): • Reduces risk of type 2 diabetes • Improves cogniBve funcBon • Prevents the ‘brain from shrinking’ • Improves success in exams • Reduces risk of depression • Increases basal metabolic rate • Reduces risk of breast, ovarian and prostrate cancer MEN WOMEN
- 15. Lab Standard Accuracy METHODOLOGY 19 subjects tested on Revvo and also tested in a lab using gold standard Parvomedics metabolic cart that measured their respiratory gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide etc.). The sample consisted of men and women, 30-50 years of age, with VO2Max levels ranging from 18 to 70.
