For a typical person who leads a sedentary lifestyle, a typical maximum oxygen intake level would be
a. 20 ml/kg/min
b. 35 ml/kg/min
c. 50 ml/kg/min
d. 70 ml/kg/min

Answer – B (35 ml/kg/min)
  For a typical person who leads a sedentary lifestyle, the usual maximum oxygen intake level (VO2max) would be 35 ml/kg/min. VO2max is the maximum rate of oxygen uptake measured during incremental exercise. It is directly linked to the heart’s optimum capacity to transport blood to the muscles, so it is widely accepted as the standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness.
