For two athletes with the same VO2 max, the power output at VO2 max can provide additional insight into their performance capabilities.

“so if let's just say Christian and Gustaf each have a V2 Max of 80 millit per minute per kilogram but one of them is doing that at 450 watts and one of them is doing it at 425 watts does that give you a new piece of information or is it still limited because that's really only speaking to a 4minute 5 minute effort”

“that is of course where you can blackbox of course a little bit now we we just talk purely about V2 Maxim focus on that but of course there will be a fairly good fairly good correlation also between oxygen consumption let's say at V2 Max because you you can argue that there's really no power at V2 Max”
