As posted earlier, VO2max is the maximum amount of oxygen consumed, a function of oxygen delivery (to the muscles) and oxygen utilization (by the muscles). It is believed to correlate with athletic performance. Perhaps more important is
%VO2max, the percentage of VO2max you can maintain for some duration (say 20 min.). There is data that VO2max is sport-specific.
