What role does the peripheral component play in VO2max?

  1. The capacity of the heart to pump blood

  2. The efficiency of the lungs in gas exchange

  3. The ability of muscles to extract and utilize oxygen

  4. The brain's regulation of heart rate

The correct answer is: The ability of muscles to extract and utilize oxygen

The peripheral component refers to the body's tissues and muscles. In this context, it plays a crucial role in VO2max by determining the ability of muscles to extract and utilize oxygen. This is why answer option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to the heart's capacity to pump blood, while options B and D do not specifically address the role of the peripheral component in VO2max. It is important to note that while the other options may play a role in physical fitness and exercise, they are not directly related to VO2max.
