Curious about your VO2 max? There are a few ways to test it.Options for VO2 max testing:
- Lab Testing (Gold Standard): Measures oxygen and CO2 exchange directly with specialized equipment, usually on a treadmill or bike.
- Field Tests: Indirect estimates using timed runs (e.g., Cooper test, 1-mile run) or heart rate data from wearables. Less accurate but accessible.
"Knowledge is power, even in training."
