Explain what VO2max actually IS and what it REPRESENTS for physical capacity.
Question no 1
Vo2 , it is the amount of maximum oxygen that our body can consume and is measured during an incremental exercise that is when an increase in Exersice occur or the intensity of Exersice. The teen V in co2 means the amount or volume and O2 for oxygen, max is for maximum
For physical capacity
Vo2 is the maximum amount of oxygen that our body consume during Exersice to a point where no more energy is left that is the exhaustion of physical strength. The place where the co2 max is reached is the best physical capacity of a person . It can be increased by the increase of Exersice and there by increasing the O2 consumption capacity.
Maximal oxygen consumption is the stage Maximum O2 consumption has occured and this is the maximum amount of energy that body can produce by using oxygen and this Maximum enemy need oxygen , that maximum O2 is vo2 max that indicate the physical capacity of an individual
