The Cardio-respiratory Fitness report includes your actual
measurements compared with standard classifications based on
your age and gender. An intuitive chart shows you the relation
between VO2Kg and HR. At the end of the report you can find an
indication related to the individual training zones based on the
cardio respiratory parameters measured during the test.

Cardio Respiratory Fitness (VO2max)
VO2max is the maximum capacity to transport and use oxygen
in the body. The highest value reached during a graded exercise is used to assess the performance of endurance athletes,
to establish the health and fitness of normal subjects and understand limitations of the exercise capacity (lungs, heart, conditioning etc.)

V02max, how can you measure it?
The day of your assessment:
Measuring VO2 max is a simple graded exercise test in which
exercise intensity is progressively increased until maximum
effort is achieved.
You should wear comfortable clothes and low heel or athletic shoes. To ensure your best performance, the day of your
testing be sure to comply with following guidelines:
VO2 max Testing
VO2max
Consists of 10-12 minutes of
exercise performance on a
bike or treadmill breathing in a
comfortable mask until maximum
effort is achieved.
Other measurements
There are additional measurements to receive a full body assessment.
Body Measurements:
Good Health & Fitness

Capacity
Getting objective data concerning your Fitness level is fundamental in providing individual exercise prescription and effective weight management programs. Training at the right
intensity and duration is absolutely necessary in achieving
your goals faster. Once you have obtained your VO2max and
HR response, you are able to determine your individual training zones (Fat Burning, Endurance, Interval Training etc.) and
develop a customized training program.
