~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max

    VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) 
    is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise (exercise of increasing intensity).
    The name is derived from V - volume, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum. Maximal oxygen consumption reflects the cardiorespiratory 
    fitness of an individual and is an important determinant of their endurance capacity during prolonged exercise.

160 lbs * 0.454 kilogram%2Fpound * 38  milliliters = 160*0.454*0.038 liters O%5B2%5D = 2.76 liters of oxygen.
