It’s not useful because it’s not really an indicator of one’s ability to perform and can’t really be affected through training. It’s primarily affected by genetics and weight. That said, it does provide some correlation to an athletes performance “ceiling”, and you’ll typically find elite endurance athletes are naturally blessed with an impressive Vo2 max. You’re not going to win the Tour de France with a Vo2 max of 50 no matter how hard you train, just like you’ll never play Center in the NBA if you’re 6’1. |
