VO2 Max Testing: Lab vs. Field Methods

by VO2Commander » Tue Mar 18, 2025 12:00 am

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."
Have you ever had your VO2 max tested?
