Is Your VO2max Limiting Your Triathlon Performance
VO2max or maximal oxygen uptake, is a key physiological measure of cardiovascular fitness.
Along with fractional utilisation and running economy or cycling efficiency, VO2max determines endurance performance.
A high VO2max indicates a high level of aerobic fitness and can help to explain differences in performance between individuals. A high VO2max is important for success in endurance sports like running, cycling, triathlon and duathlon.
