When getting a VO2 max test, inquire about the protocol, including warm-up and preparation guidelines.

“that's exactly why we're discussing should you warm up or should you not warm up yes you should because it would normally give you let's say a better result when you are warmed up but that means also that the protocol will also have can also then have an influence on your vew to Max measurements”

“so what would you want them to be looking for so uh what I would normally do is is a one I would try to create as some standardized protocol from time to time and that means not only the testing itself but also what happens a little bit before without it it becomes too invasive into people's lives like standardizing what you do the days before and all these kind of things I think this is Impractical for most people”

“other mistakes I've seen are people who don't have a long enough warm-up time you know the the the total test took five minutes and I'm like well you you didn't you didn't come close to sufficiently warming up”
