VO₂ Max Testing for Teenagers

Adolescence is a critical period for athletic development:

• Establish baseline during peak development years
• Optimize high school sports performance
• College recruiting fitness documentation
• Prevent overtraining in multi-sport athletes
• Support youth endurance athletes (running, cycling, swimming)

For high school varsity and club athletes:

• Cross Country & Track: Training zones for season preparation
• Soccer, Lacrosse, Field Hockey: Endurance baseline
• Basketball: Cardiovascular fitness for full-court play
• Swimming: Cross-training and dryland assessment

VO₂ max data supports college recruiting:

• Objective fitness documentation for coaches
• Demonstrates athletic potential
• Differentiates similar candidates
