What does a VO2max measurement reveal?

AThe amount of oxygen delivered to body tissues
BThe amount of body fat burned during physical activity
CThe amount of blood that flows through the heart per minute
DThe amount of oxygen that the lungs can hold at full capacity

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is letter D

Answer:

A is correct. The amount of oxygen delivered to body Tissue

Explanation:

Maximal Oxygen Uptake


Determining maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max):

It is the best measure of cardiorespiratory fitness;

It reveals how much oxygen is delivered to body tissues; and


It requires an exercise physiology laboratory with trained personnel to analyze a person’s oxygen intake.


Maximal tests can be substituted with field tests, which are a comparable way to score the VO2max. They are less expensive, require little to no equipment, and are, therefore, more practical.
