The maximal amount of oxygen a person’s body can use while exercising is their VO2max. It is important to test VO2max in chronic stroke survivors who experience stroke-related deficits.

The maximal amount of oxygen a person’s body can use while exercising is their VO2max. It is important to test VO2max in chronic stroke survivors who experience stroke-related deficits.
