I think it has to do with heart rate and cardiovascular health. The heart is the most important muscle we have. Not to say strength isn’t important.

You mentioned there are several ways to “improve VO2 max everyday “ .. how does one do this ?

[waldguy]

Uninformed comment to suggest you can quickly improve your v02 Max. It's a very slow moving improvement requiring considerable work. Good luck moving it even one point in a few weeks.

I’m 39 years old and my vo2 max is only 35.2 which is quite low and is below 22 for my 62 year old mom

My genes say that I have lower than average endurance, but a very high VO2 Max. I took a test and put my saliva in a cup while I was working at UPS. I pick up and move heavy packages while walking all day. Fascinating stuff, but correlated causality is difficult to gage without massive data metrics.

VO2Max may be more important for athletes but not as much for average person.
