The highest amount of oxygen an individual can take in and utilize to produce ATP aerobically while breathing air during heavy exercise.Maximal oxygen consumption is sometimes referred to as maximal aerobic capacity. It is determined by assessing the body’s ability to maximally utilize oxygen during a graded exercise test. Intensity of physical activity is often expressed as a percentage of V02max.
