AI Overview While weight training can contribute to overall health, it doesn't directly equate to a high VO2 max, which is a measure of aerobic capacity. Weight training primarily improves strength and muscle mass, while VO2 max is more closely linked to cardiovascular fitness and endurance...

AI Overview While both VO2 max and strength are strong indicators of longevity, VO2 max is considered the most robust predictor. However, strength, alongside muscle mass, plays a significant role in overall health and lifespan. VO2 Max: The Gold Standard Definition: VO2 max, or maximal...

Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), is related to functional capacity and human performance and has been shown to be a strong and independent predictor of all-cause and disease-specific mortality. The purpose of this review is to emphasize age-related...
