0:00 Intro 0:20 VO2 Max test assesses the aerobic capacity of your heart. 0:48 It is measured in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). 1:20 Your VO2 Max measures how much oxygen your body can uptake over a period of time at your peak threshold. 2:00 Exercise improves cardiovascular fitness and improves capillary density, which improves the output of your heart and the capacity of your lungs to oxygenate blood. 3:23 Ultra distance athletes score over 70. 3:40 The test approximates which heartrate zones are oxidizing fat and your lactate threshold. 03:55 Heartrate fluctuates with stress levels, hydration, sleep and more. 6:00 American’s VO2 Max average is around 30. 7:00 There is a correlation between increased fatness and your higher odds of developing, and even dying from, cardiovascular disease. 7:30 Low fitness levels are linked with increased death and premature morbidity from heart disease. 8:00 Your fitness tracker’s algorithm may not produce an accurate VO2 Max number. 8:45 Nasal breathing improves endothelial nitric oxide, which helps to vasodilate your blood vessels. 9:45 There is an age-related reduction in VO2 Max, but this rate can be slowed.
