VO2 MAX TESTING APPOINTMENT GUIDE

What to Expect During Your VO2 Max Test Appointment

Our VO2 Max test takes approximately 20 minutes and includes an orientation, warm-up, test and cooldown phase. Please wear appropriate athletic clothing.

01

Before Your VO2 Max Test

Prepare for your VO2 Max test by avoiding strenuous exercise starting 48 hours before the test. If possible, use our VO2 Max calculator to get an estimate a week before your test. On the day of your test, avoid caffeine as it can elevate your heart rate. Additionally, avoid having a heavy meal beforehand. Make sure to wear athletic clothing to your appointment. If you are only doing a VO2 Max Test, there is no need to fast prior to your test.

Throughout the test, your oxygen use and other vital responses are carefully monitored to gauge your peak performance. For treadmill tests we use the bruce protocol
