VO2max Test Results
The VO2max test is the criterion measure of aerobic power in athletes. Actual published scores are hard to find. the following are just some that are known or have been found through searching on the internet.
VO2max from Nonexercise Data
This calculation of VO2max using non-exercise data can provide a useful initial estimate of an athlete's Vo2 max for screening purposes.

VO2max
See maximal oxygen uptake
W
Warm-up
A period (usually three to 15 minutes) of easy exercising at the beginning of the workout to gradually ease the body into more intensive exercise.
VO2max - 75% of the maximal aerobic capacity. This measure is used to determine the intensity of exercise.
W
Weight - The measure of the heaviness of an object as gravitational force is exerted on that object. Different from mass.
VO2max - Your Aerobic Potential
VO2max is the best indicator of your "aerobic potential". In untrained individuals it can be a good marker of fitness.
Wheelchair VO2max Test
Level of aerobic fitness based on 12 minute wheelchair performance test and VO2max (ml/kg/min)

Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) [back to top] The highest volume of oxygen a person can consume during exercise; maximum-aerobic capacity; VO2max is a measure of maximal cardiovascular performance.
As mentioned previously in this article the rate of gastric emptying is known to decrease when the exercise intensity is greater than 70% of VO2max. Athletes who perform at this intensity will find that smaller amounts of carbohydrates are necessary.
Twenty minutes of high intensity cardio increases your aerobic capacity (VO2max) dramatically, maintains lean muscle mass, boosts your metabolism during and after exercise, and burns more fat calories than 30-45 minutes of low intensity cardio.
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)- The maximum capacity for oxygen consumption by the body during maximum exertion. Also known as aerobic power or maximal oxygen intake/consumption.
approximate 75% of VO2max). The first exercise test was a depletion trail and was preceded by a period during which the subjects' normal diet was consumed. A prescribed 70% carbohydrate (CHO) diet was then consumed for 3.5 d.
It is beneficial for increasing VO2max, the lactic acid threshold, and the metabolism for extended periods of time, thus assuring continuing fat loss during the course of several hours to a day; ...
Increased maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)
Improvement in cardivascular/cardiorespiratory function (heart and lungs) ...
Some evidence for this comes from researchers at Hiroshima Women's University in Japan [7]. They studied a group of women who cycled for 60 minutes at 70% of VO2max the morning after two days on two different diets.
They don't do you a damn good as they're not even aerobic in nature, they will provide you with no cardiovascular benefits which is what you primarily need for running fast and running long. VO2Max is the king.
During maximum aerobic exercise, the trained person has an increased maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). They are better able to process oxygen and fuel and can therefore provide more energy to the working muscles.
