VO2peakClinical

Highest oxygen uptake recorded during a given exercise test, without confirming a true physiological maximum.

VO2peak is the highest oxygen consumption value observed during an incremental test, used when a VO2max plateau criterion is not met or not tested for. It is often used interchangeably with VO2max in practice but is technically a distinct, test-dependent measure.
