VO2 TestingVO2 testing tells you how well your body uses oxygen during exercise allowing you to know the point at which you go from aerobic to anaerobic exercise. This is the only accurate way to know how to train to reach your goals. VO2 testing provides you with the key to weight loss, fat utilization and improved cardiovascular endurance - allowing you to efficiently use your exercise time. In the past, formulas such as "220 minus your age" were considered to be the best way to find your target intensity zones. These estimates have a major flaw - they do not take into account your personal physiology and can be inaccurate by as much as 20+ beats per minute. VO2 testing takes all the guesswork out of the equation and gives you target workout zones that are accurate and customized based on your physiology. VO2 is defined as the volume of oxygen (O2) consumed. A VO2 test is the most accurate indicator of fitness as it measures the amount of oxygen that your body can uptake and use during exercise.
