VO2 Max Testing at Forge Fitness Orange County RSM - is the gold-standard assessment of your cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term health.
VO2 Max Test measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise — VO2 Max is the #1 indicator of performance, vitality, and reduced all-cause mortality. Expertly-guided VO₂ Max test designed to give you clear insights and actionable results.
Regardless of your fitness or longevity goals, VO2 Max is one of the single most important metrics you should know and track on an ongoing basis.
The reason we should all know our VO2 is because there is growing evidence that your individual VO2 max number can predict your chance of cardiovascular disease, your life expectancy, and your quality of life later in years. For example, in one study, it was shown that increasing your VO2 max by just 3.5 ml/kg/min, reduces the risk for all-cause mortality by 11%. This improvement can occur in as little as 6-8 weeks of targeted training.
A VO2 max test for athletes measures maximum oxygen uptake, assessing aerobic fitness by having them exercise (treadmill/bike) with a mask, increasing intensity until exhaustion to determine cardiovascular efficiency for personalized training zones, tracking progress, and identifying performance limits, with results showing how well their body uses oxygen for endurance
