Overview of the VO2max Lab:
In this lab we introduce VO2max testing. In Part 1 of the lab we discuss terminology, VO2max criteria, energy systems and clinical significance of the VO2max test. In Part 2 of the lab we administer a VO2max test, analyze the data and discuss factors that affect testing. The key objective of this lab is familiarization with all factors and criteria for running and analyzing a VO2max test.
