How to Increase VO2 Max and How to Improve VO2 Max?
VO2 Max measures how efficiently your cardiorespiratory system delivers oxygen to the muscles and how efficiently your muscles use the oxygen. Once you have established your baseline VO2 Max and Lactate Threshold, ECA Wellness will develop a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program to improve each parameter. This video discusses improving VO2 Max, Lactate Threshold, and Endurance using heart rate training zones and a detailed high-intensity interval HIIT training program.

VO2 Max has defined cardiac output times the amount of oxygen taken up by the muscle (A-VO2). Cardiac output is the amount of blood the heart pumps throughout the body in 1 minute, and A-VO2 is the amount of oxygen your muscle takes in. Cardiac output can also be described as stroke volume times heart rate.
