In a laboratory, it is calculated by measuring the volume (V) of oxygen (O2) that you consume while riding a static bike on a turbo trainer – In the VO2 max test, you’re hooked up to a breathing mask while you undergo progressively more difficult demands (i.e. pedal faster / increased resistance).
Your VO2 max occurs when your oxygen consumption redlines. At this point, your heart rate is also at its maximum.
After doing a simple calculation involving your rate of oxygen consumption during the test and your body weight, you’re presented with a number that expresses how much oxygen you were consuming whilst pedaling at your hardest, per kilo of body mass.
