VO2max<br />

Maximal oxygen uptake<br />

Cells need a certain amount of oxygen that the body gets from the air for the<br />

transformation of kinetic energy. The body needs more energy and therefore more<br />

oxygen during exercise, which is why breathing is accelerated during exercise.<br />

If there is not enough oxygen in the cells, energy conversion is slowed down and performance<br />

drops. The ability to absorb oxygen through the lungs and transport it to the appropriate<br />

muscles is called VO2max. This number can be increased through good endurance training.<br />

However, there are certain genetic variations that increase the VO2max level considerably and<br />

therefore create a better starting point without any training.<br />
