Understanding Vo Max

Conventional evaluations use a known measure of gas composition, and evaluate the intake measurement, as well as what is artificially expired. Metabolic testing is more than just oxygen utilization; it’s important for the utilization of macronutrients for fuel as well. Therefore, this guide will also briefly mention systems that are able to determine metabolic rate and substrate extraction.

It can determine the proportion of energy coming from carbohydrates and fats at various levels of exercise intensity. Since physical conditioning and exercise intensity affect these proportions, this information can be very helpful when designing a workout intended to burn fat. An initial VO 2 Max Test can clarify the precise target heart rates that will enable each individual to exercise more effectively, with less fatigue and fewer injuries. Periodic resting provides motivating feedback as the fitness program progresses.

Vo2 Max The Industry Standard For Determining Cardiorespiratory Fitness!

An initial VO₂ Max test can clarify the precise target heart rates that will enable each individual to exercise more effectively, with less fatigue and fewer injuries. Periodic retesting provides motivating feedback as the fitness program progresses. The measurement requires that the subject breathe into an oxygen consumption analyzer during an all-out effort as part of a graded synergyhealing exercise protocol. These protocols involve specific increases in the speed and intensity of the exercise. While exercising, the person wears a mask to collect all the air he/she breathes in and out for a measurement of the volume of exhaled gas and the concentration of oxygen in that exhaled gas. This determines how much oxygen is used during each minute of the exercise test.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About A Vo2 Max Test & Why You Should Get One

That's it, we take care of the rest and are able to read out your body's precise energy needs. Because every calorie a person consumes requires a fixed amount of oxygen to be converted to energy, the KORR Analyzer measures the oxygen you consume to calculate calories burned. All of the air exhaled by the patient must be collected to measure oxygen consumption. Two one-way valves in the KORR MetaBreather ensure that only fresh air is inhaled and all exhaled gas passes through the hose and into the machine.

What if you had an indicator that showed exactly what your athlete needed to improve their performance before the season even started? Exercise science specialists are available to answer questions, provide training, and support implementation. Metabolic testing with the KORR CardioCoach can be a phenomenal addition to your training department and service for your members. My staff and I have brought a great addition to the club and to our members by offering a service that is traditionally only offered in elite athlete testing centers or universities.
