Normative Data of Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max) among Healthy Young Adults: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract: Introduction: Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is the maximum quantity of oxygen a person can consume, and it remains constant over time despite increased exertion. The amount of oxygen consumed by the working muscles is measured by maximal oxygen consumption. The maximal oxygen uptake can be measured using maximal or submaximal tests, by gas analyser or field methods. The estimated VO2 max can be used to study people’s fitness and raise awareness about physical activity and lifestyle changes. Aim: To determin… Show more

“…Actually, due to: a) the growing development of aforementioned measurement devices, b) availability of simply field-based tests such as incremental shuttle walk test [15,16] and c) new statistical prediction models and equations, clinicians and/or researchers are able to estimate VO 2peak , and/or VO 2max (it is however not the subject of this study), based on selected parameters without performing maximal CPET [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Unfortunately, estimated VO 2peak using, e.g., only 6-min Walk Test distance demonstrated poor agreement with measured VO 2peak from a CPET [23].…”

“…VO 2max provides an indication of aerobic power, which is an important component of health-related physical fitness, as it is closely related to heart function (since VO 2max is the product of maximal cardiac output and the arterial-venous difference) [5]. If a participant has a low VO 2max value, then they will be less able to produce energy via aerobic means, which may then be associated with the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors [7,10,11,23]. VO 2max can provide a good indication of a person's health status and also allow the monitoring of progress in a fitness program [5,11].…”

“…Since maximal values are affected by several factors [11], it is important to define the population when creating normative reference values. VO 2max values have been found to be lower in women [6,7,14,17,26,27,31], vary inversely with age [3,24] and vary directly with height [11], body surface area [11], and body weight [11,24], and change based on training state [5,11,24,34]. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop normative reference values and a classification system for a university aged Canadian young-adult population.…”
