Description: Aerobic fitness is best measured by Maximal Aerobic Capacity or VO2 Max which is defined as a measure of oxygen utilization and transport. Increased Vo2 max indicates improved oxygen consumption during high level exercise and is widely accepted as a predictor of an individual's likelihood of successfully completing a demanding task. As such, agencies and organizations have adopted VO2 max as part of a comprehensive set of physical requirements. The purpose of this study is to review the literature and existing medical and occupational VO2 max data, to propose a VO2 max standard for NASA astronauts for training and spaceflight.
