How is VO2max measured?
VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption as measured during incremental exercise, most typically on a motorized treadmill. In general clinical and athletic testing, this usually involves a graded exercise test in which exercise intensity is progressively increased while measuring ventilation and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the inhaled and exhaled air.
What does a vo2max measurement reveal?
The amount of oxygen the lungs can hold at full capacity
Is a VO2Max of 25 very bad?
Literally terrible. Good would be 60+
What are the affects of exercise on vital capacity?
Exercise increases vital capacity because the lungs need more oxygen to supply the muscles with vital nutrients and the tougher the exercise the more nutrients needed. the lungs expand during this to account for the extra need hence increasing the vital capacity

What is a good representation of good cardiorespiratory fitness?

How does weight loss affect VO2 max?
Since VO2max is based on weight, you could just simply lose weight to make you VO2max instantly go up. Of course, this isn't advised as a method of improving VO2 max for most runners since losing weight for the sake of losing weight could compromise your health.
