Question

How would a decline in VO2 max affect step length and walking speed?

Answer 1

Vo2 max is the oxygen utilization of the lungs , body muscles in the intense physical activity or exercise. This vo2 max indirectly measures the energy capacity and energy cells produced in the body during exercise or in an physical activity.

This affect the step length and the gait speed by the decrease or decline Vo2 max have the less oxygen utilization which in further have a less energy production by the body muscles and lungs.

That will affect the step length and walking speed. Because step length and walking speed needed more energy and oxygen utilization but in decline Vo2 max the oxygen utilization and energy production is less in that way the decile Vo2 max affect the step length and the waking speed.
