Abstract

VO₂max is the main indicator of aerobic capacity that is widely used in endurance sports. However, direct measurement of VO₂max requires special equipment and laboratory conditions that are not always available in the field. This study aims to examine the predictive model of VO₂max based on body composition through a systematic literature review approach. Data were obtained from four scientific databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) with a publication range of 2013–2025. The selection process followed the PRISMA guidelines with inclusion criteria of human population-based quantitative studies and the use of body parameters as predictors of VO₂max. A total of 15 articles met the criteria and were analyzed narratively. The results showed that parameters such as fat-free mass (FFM), body fat percentage (BF%), and body mass index (BMI) were the most commonly used variables. Linear regression and machine learning approaches were the dominant statistical methods. Although these approaches are potential, a universal model has not been found due to variations in population, measurement methods, and training conditions. This study recommends the development of population-specific predictive models and the integration of anthropometric data, biomarkers, and exercise response to improve model accuracy and applicability.
