What does VO2max represent?

  1. Maximum heart rate

  2. Maximal strength capacity

  3. Maximal oxygen uptake

  4. Volume of carbon dioxide output

The correct answer is: Maximal oxygen uptake

VO2max represents the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can consume during intense exercise. It is a measurement of aerobic fitness and is affected by factors such as age, genetics, and training. Option A, maximum heart rate, is the highest heart rate an individual can achieved during exercise, which is indirectly related to VO2max but not its true definition. Option B, maximal strength capacity, refers to the maximum amount of force an individual can generate in a single muscle contraction, which is not a measure of aerobic capacity. Option D, volume of carbon dioxide output, is not a direct measure of oxygen consumption and therefore not a representation of VO2max.
