Vo2 Max test with COSMED K5 at Rise Sports Medicine in Sydney

VO2 max represents the maximum rate at which the heart, lungs, and muscles can efficiently take in and utilize oxygen during exercise as part of the metabolic processes.

VO2 is typically measured in liters of oxygen consumed per minute (L/min) or in milliliters of oxygen per minute per kilogram of body weight (mL/min/kg).

This measurement is calculated by assessing the exchange of gases entering and leaving the lungs—essentially, the amount of oxygen inhaled minus the amount exhaled.

Here is an excerpt from a VO2 max test using the COSMED K5 and Technogym MED treadmill at RISE Sports Medicine.
