Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;VO2 max is measure of maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can use. It is measured in milliliters per kg body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). As we increase our effort when we exercise, the amount of oxygen we consume to produce energy (and hence rate at which release carbon dioxide) increases. However, there is maximum level of oxygen consumption beyond which increase in exercise intensity does not lead to further increase in oxygen consumption. This level of oxygen consumption is called the VO2 max. The purpose of present study was to compare VO2 max between trained and untrained young individuals which was measured with the help of bicycle Ergo meter. VO2 max in trained is significantly higher than in untrained individuals.</p>
