What is VO2 max, and why should you care about it? The short answer: yes. VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your blood can carry and deliver to your body under stress. A study of roughly 120,000 people found that moving from the bottom half of VO2 max rankings to the top half lowered the risk of all-cause mortality over the next ten years by 70%. And the best way to maximize your VO2 max? Developing and retaining muscle mass.
