What is vo2 mac?

Vo2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can use during exercise. It is often used as an indicator of cardiovascular fitness and is measured by monitoring the volume of oxygen that an individual can consume in one minute during intense exercise. VO2 max is expressed in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). The Vo2 max test is also known as the maximum aerobic capacity (MAC) test, and it is used to assess an athlete's endurance capacity. The test involves a graded exercise test on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, where the intensity of the exercise increases every few minutes until the individual reaches their maximum effort. Oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and heart rate are measured during the test, and these measurements are used to calculate the individual's Vo2 max.
