Scientists have discovered that after Ground Hog’s Day your V02 Max improves! No, really!
What is VO2 Max?
Exercise physiologists define VO2 max as your maximal rate of oxygen consumption. It is a measure of your capacity to generate the energy required for endurance activities and is one of the most important factors determining your ability to exercise for longer than four to five minutes.
Improving your VO2 max by 10 percent without changing any other performance factors can take more than a minute off your 5k time and is an essential factor in races from 800 meters to the marathon. Your sedentary VO2 max values are genetically determined. However, all individuals can make drastic improvements in VO2 max with the right training stimulus.
Thus, to attain your best possible performances, VO2 max improvement is one aspect of your training that should not be ignored.
At In Motion Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, we can test you for your V02 Max or your Lactate Threshold to give you the best training tools available to improve your performance.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
