Here’s How I Improved My VO2max After My 60s with Persistence and Guidance.
If I can do this amazing thing in five steps in my mid-70s, anyone can do it, too.
Health Science Research By Dr Mike Broadly
You can start and stay fit and healthy at any age. Even after turning 60, I improved my VO2max with regular and well-organized training. If I could do it in five steps, despite enjoying the good things in life and a busy family life after retiring, anyone can.
Studying health sciences in the 1970s, I came across the concept of VO2max (maximal oxygen consumption), which was established in the early 1920s by Archibald Vivian Hill, a Nobel Laurette. Dr/Sir Hill’s research on oxygen consumption during exercise laid the foundation for our understanding of VO2max. Prof Timothy Nokes documented the details in this paper in 2011.
Dr Hill’s work on VO2max was instrumental in advancing our knowledge of aerobic capacity and its significance in sports and exercise physiology. Since then, many researchers and scientists have built upon this foundation to further our understanding of VO2max and its applications in various fields, including sports science, fitness assessment, and healthcare.
