Importance of VO2 Max for Health and Longevity
VO2 max is crucial for cardiorespiratory fitness, directly reflecting one's health and potential lifespan. Endurance exercise training leads to heart and vascular system improvements, enhancing the body's oxygen uptake and utilization, vital for energy production and overall health. Cardiac output increases as the heart remodels, leading to improved blood flow and oxygen delivery to skeletal muscles, impacting both exercise performance and longevity.
