Aerobic capacity has been accepted as the major component of physical capacity in athletes. VO2 max is the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal exercise. The purpose of the study was to compare the peak VO2 among long distance runners, hockey and judo players. To achieve the purpose of the study 20 long Distance Runners, 20 hockey and 20 judo players were selected as subjects. The relative peak VO2 was selected as variable. The CPET unit was used to assess the relative peak VO2 of the selected subjects by breath-to-breath analysis. In the result showed the significant difference found between hockey and judo players related to relative peak VO2. The significant difference found among selected groups. The long-distance runners showed higher peak VO2 fallowed by hockey players and judo players. The athletes of different sports demand different VO2 Max according to the dominant energy system involved in the particular sport.
