What it is

  • A maximal exercise test on a treadmill or bike. You wear a mask that measures the oxygen you use while the intensity gradually increases.

What it does

Measures your VO2max and how your cardiovascular system responds to exercise. You also see how your fitness changes across different exercise intensities.

Why it matters

VO2max is one of the strongest measures of cardiorespiratory fitness and is strongly associated with long term health and physical performance. It gives you a real baseline instead of an estimate from a wearable.

FAQs

  • How is this different from my Garmin/Apple Watch/Whoop Vo2max?Open +

    Wearables estimate Vo2max from indirect variables. Your test directly measures oxygen consumption and CO2 production during maximal exercise, which is the laboratory standard.
