VO₂max vs. Submaximal Testing in Calgary
You’ve probably heard the term VO₂max thrown around in running groups, fitness apps, and endurance communities. It’s the gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity — the highest amount of oxygen your body can consume and use during intense exercise. But here’s a question most people don’t ask: do you actually need to go all-out to get meaningful fitness data?
GLP-1 Users Need This Workout Guide: An Exercise Physiologist’s Perspective
If you’re taking a GLP-1 – Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound – and you’ve felt smaller but also a little weaker, you’re not imagining it.
The medications work — really well, in fact — but the scale doesn’t tell you what kind of weight you’re losing. In the landmark STEP 1 trial of semaglutide, about 39% of the weight lost was lean body mass, not fat (Wilding et al., 2021). For tirzepatide in SURMOUNT-1, it was around 25% (Jastreboff et al., 2022). Translation: out of every 10 kg you lose, somewhere between 2.5 and 4 kg is muscle, bone, and connective tissue — unless you train to protect it.
