Normally a comma does not separate VO2 and Max.
Purpose of the phrase VO2 max — or your oxygen uptake — is to show how much oxygen your body absorbs and uses while exercising in a high capacity aerobic or cardiorespiratory manner.
V is for volume, O2 is for oxygen and max is for maximum.
As you can see from this Cleveland Clinic article, VO2max is calculated by performing a cardiopulmonary exercise test at your doctor’s office or exercise medicine lab.
VO2max decreases as we age. Yet oxygen intake throughout our body is essential to Vibrant Longevity – the theme of these posts.
The French identify the essence of Vibrant Longevity as ÉLAN VITAL – the vital force or impulse of life.
