Generation

## VO2 Max **VO2 max** is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It's measured in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min) and serves as the gold standard for measuring cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance capacity. ## Common Misconception **Misconception: VO2 max is fixed and can't be improved.** While genetics do play a significant role in determining your VO2 max ceiling (accounting for roughly 50% of the variance), most people can improve their VO2 max by 15-25% through proper training, particularly high-intensity interval training (HIIT). However, improvements typically plateau after several months of consistent training, and the upper limit is indeed partly determined by genetics.
