Define VO2 max
A
The amount of oxygen needed at the end of a physical activity to break down any lactic acid.
B
working at a high intensity level without oxygen for energy production.
C
the volume of oxygen an athlete can consume while exercising at maximum capacity.
D
smaller branches coming off the bronchi.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise. This measurement is generally considered the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.

Detailed explanation-2: -VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize during exercise. It’s commonly used to test the aerobic endurance or cardiovascular fitness of athletes before and at the end of a training cycle. VO2 max is measured in milliliters of oxygen consumed in one minute, per kilogram of body weight (mL/kg/min).

Detailed explanation-3: -VO2 max is the amount (volume) of oxygen your body uses while exercising as hard as you can. It’s a common tool to understand your fitness level. Knowing your VO2 max can help you train for sports, track your fitness improvement, and improve your heart health.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction: Maximal oxygen uptake (. VO2max) was defined by Hill and Lupton in 1923 as the oxygen uptake attained during maximal exercise intensity that could not be increased despite further increases in exercise workload, thereby defining the limits of the cardiorespiratory system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abstract. The characteristics of oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics differ with exercise intensity. When exercise is performed at a given work rate which is below lactate threshold (LT), VO2 increases exponentially to a steady-state level.
