VO2 Max
- Physiology
- Higher percentage of
slow twitch muscle fibres
(type1).
- High Capillary Density
- High blood volume and
haemoglobin content.
- High Mitochondrial density
and myoglobin content
- Higher percentage of
slow twitch muscle fibres
(type1).
- Lifestyle
- All reduce VO2 values
- Smoking
- Poor Diet
- Leading a sedentary
lifestyle.
- Smoking
- All reduce VO2 values
- Genetics
- Studies on twins have suggested
that genetics account for 25 to 50
per cent of VO2 max scores.

- Gender
- The typical untrained male
VO2 max has a value of 3.5
litres/min
- A typical untrained
females VO2 max is
approximately 2
litres/min
- The typical untrained male
VO2 max has a value of 3.5
litres/min
- Training
- VO2 max can be
improved by 10 to 20
per cent following
training
- This gives vast
improvements in the
delivery and transport of
oxygen resulting in a higher

- Continuous, fartlek and aerobic
training are the best types of
training methods for improving VO2
max.

- Body
Composition
- VO2 Max decreases as the % of body fat

decreases
with age.
- After the age of 25 VO2
max is thought to
decrease by 1% per year.
- Regular exercise will
help to slow down the
rate of decline
