VO2 maxIt has a real ring to it: "VO2 max". As I understand it, it's a measure of the maximum volume of oxygen per unit of time that your body is able to use when you are exerting yourself stenuously. People like Lance Armstrong have dizzyingly high numbers, which is a large factor in their physical abilities. Apparently there are some guys in town that own the equipment for measuring VO2 max, as well as a variety of other physiological values. Cool! ... Hey Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking? |
