The definition of VO2 Max is the volume (V) of oxygen (O2) your body can consume. The higher the number the better your heart and lungs can work or the “bigger your aerobic engine.”
The higher your max, the more capable your body is to handle physical activity. That activity includes exercise, recovery, handling stress, recovering from illness, and metabolizing food.
VO2 Max is the most correlated metric we have to longevity and quality of life. Higher scores can add years of quality lifespan.
