a VO2 max test is directly measuring your body’s ability to take oxygen and convert it into energy within the working muscles, you not only get a more definitive understanding of your physical capabilities, you also get a lot more analytical information about how your body responds to exercise at different levels.
The VO2 max test is a lab-based test and is considered the ‘gold standard’ for identifying an athletes oxygen carrying capability.
It’s a graded step test, where upfront an assumption is made about FTP, which is essentially a determination of the average power output (in watts) you can maintain for an hour. Ideally the test will last far less than that. minutes, which is long enough for you to get warmed up but not overly long so external factors come into play that could fatigue the body and skew the results.
Within the test you should be working hard for the final 3-4 minutes until max, so the painful part of the test is relatively short lived.
An RPM (revolutions per minute) range allowed during the test is 50-130 which is a massive range.
