Up for auction: a complimentary VO2 max test with nationally recognized sports cardiologist and OFS parent Dr. Ankit Shah!

VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise. VO2 max is an important determinant of endurance exercise performance because it represents a true measure of cardiopulmonary capacity.

The test involves either exercising on a treadmill or a bike while wearing a face mask that will measure the volume and gas concentrations as you breathe in and out. The test is a graded test with a gradual increase in resistance (Watts on a bike or incline on a treadmill) with the goal of reaching maximal effort and exhaustion in 8 and 12 minutes.
