Abstract

It is widely believed that peak cardiac output and total body hemoglobin content are the dominant and deterministic pathways that account for the vast majority of interindividual variability in VO2max. This article presents a case that VO2max represents the maximum integrated capacity of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular system, and that ‘limiting’ factors for VO2max can vary between individuals.
