Abstract

The maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) is one of the most frequently used and well known measures of aerobic fitness within exercise physiology and sports medicine: The VO₂ max is a product of heart rate, stroke volume and the arterial-venous oxygen difference. In many patients as well in healthy persons the VO₂ max is an important predictor of mortality and morbidity. The maximal oxygen uptake can be best measured with a maximal (or cardiopulmonary) exercise test in combination with direct respiratory gas analysis. This article will discuss predictions of the VO₂max and recommendations will be made for execution and description of maximal exercise tests.
