How to Improve Your VO2 Max for Better Endurance and Health

Want to run faster, bike longer, or simply feel more energized? Improving your VO2 max can help. Studies suggest that structured training can increase VO2 max by up to 20% in just a few months (Sports Medicine, 2021). The most effective methods include high-intensity interval training (HIIT), tempo runs, and circuit workouts that push your aerobic limits.

A study published in Frontiers in Physiology (2023) found that combining endurance and strength training leads to the greatest VO2 max improvements. Workouts like sprints, rowing intervals, and CrossFit-style circuits challenge both your cardiovascular and muscular systems, maximizing oxygen efficiency. Consistency is key—aim for at least three intense sessions per week to see measurable gains.
