Aerobic capacity is the ability of an athlete’s cardiovascular system to absorb and utilize oxygen. The VO2max Test at GSSI measures the maximal oxygen consumption rate of an athlete, which provides researchers at GSSI with an indication of the athlete’s maximal aerobic capacity. The scientists use the information gained during the VO2max test to help set the standardized athletic workloads needed to gather accurate data during other lab testing procedures.
