Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is VO2 max testing, and why is it important?

VO2 max testing measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during maximal exercise. It is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance and can help identify key physiological metrics to optimise performance

2. How should I prepare for a VO2 max test?

To get accurate results, you should:

Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before the test.
Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours prior.
Wear comfortable workout clothing and bring running shoes.
Stay hydrated but avoid eating heavy meals right before the test.

3. Do I need a GP referral to do a VO2 Max test at Progressive Sports Medicine?

You only need a GP referral or clearance letter if you are a female >50 years old or a male >45 years old. There is a pre screening questionnaire to fill out prior to the completion of your test.
