SpO2 measures the amount of oxygen in the blood, while VO2max measures the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during intense exercise. SpO2 is a direct measure of oxygen saturation in the blood, while VO2max is an indirect measure of aerobic fitness. Higher SpO2 levels indicate better oxygenation, while a higher VO2max indicates better cardiovascular fitness. Both are important indicators of overall health and fitness levels.
Maximal Oxygen Uptake is also known as VO2max. VO2max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can use during intense exercise. It is commonly used to assess an individual's cardiovascular fitness and endurance capacity.
Athletes use the VO2 max test to prove fitness levels it is a fitness test which is completed by measuring the maximum amount of oxygen that your body uses during maximum exercise for a period of a minute. Cristiano Ronaldo is rumored to have a VO2 max test result of 75ml (football clubs don't officially produce these test results) he average male scores 35-40ml.
During exercise, there is a direct relationship between VO2max (maximum oxygen consumption) and heart rate. As the intensity of exercise increases, both VO2max and heart rate also increase. This is because the heart needs to pump more blood to deliver oxygen to the muscles working harder, resulting in a higher heart rate to meet the increased oxygen demand.
Possible reasons for a sudden drop in VO2max could include illness, injury, overtraining, lack of physical activity, or changes in training intensity or duration.

Literally terrible. Good would be 60+
The amount of oxygen the lungs can hold at full capacity
Physical Fitness would most likely be considered a healthy person, which is different for everyone. This is where perception comes into play, but in general, I would consider someone who's physically fit to be a healthy weight, decent body fat percentage, clear complexion, strong immune system, full of energy and free of disease. Sports fitness is determined by the ability to perform in your given sport. Lots of people go to the gym, but very few train hard enough to compete. How many guys at your local gym could go 5, 5 minute rounds in the UFC?
The gold standard measure of cardiorespiratory endurance is maximal aerobic power ( VO2max). It is the highest rate at which the person is able to consume oxygen during exhaustive, sustained exercise.

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.
