VO2 Max
Definition
VO2 Max (maximal oxygen uptake) is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during intense exercise. Measured in ml/kg/min, it is the gold standard indicator of aerobic fitness and endurance potential.
Why it matters
A higher VO2 Max means your body can deliver and use more oxygen to working muscles, enabling you to sustain faster paces and higher power outputs for longer. Elite endurance athletes typically have VO2 Max values of 70-85+ ml/kg/min.
How FlipMP uses it
FlipMP tracks VO2 Max estimates from Garmin and Polar devices over time. Rising VO2 Max indicates positive adaptation to your training. The AI coach correlates your VO2 Max trend with training load to confirm you are making fitness gains.
