moderate-intensity cardio training raises VO₂max by 9–19% over 6–16 weeks
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) improved significantly following MICT (pooled effect estimate 0.75, p < 0.0001), with percent increases ranging from 9% to 19% across training periods of 6–16 weeks.
What this means for you
VO₂max is simply how efficiently your body uses oxygen during effort — and it's one of the strongest predictors of long-term energy, endurance, and healthy aging. Raising it by even 10% means everyday activities feel easier, workouts feel more sustainable, and your cardiovascular system is working more effectively for you.
