VO2 Max Lab Write-Up
Introduction: VO2max or oxygen consumption, is defined to be the maximum oxygen consumption our body can handle during aerobic exercise. When we are exercising our body works harder than usual, which requires ATP with the aid of oxygen. The reason why our heart rate progressively gets faster is because our body is trying to provide more oxygen to generate enough ATP to keep us moving. VO2 is a measure of the volume of oxygen that our body uses to convert the energy from the food we eat into energy molecules, called ATP, that our body uses at the cellular level. A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercises showed that people who favored an alkaline-type diet showed
