Why Your VO2Max Score Matters

VO2Max describes how well your body can use oxygen during physical activity. It is an objective way to tell how fit you are and the key marker of longevity. When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen and release it into your bloodstream. Red blood cells transport this oxygen to organs and muscles. Muscle cells need oxygen to produce ATP, the body's main source of energy. ATP provides muscles with the energy they need for movement and exertion. The more oxygen you can absorb and utilize, the more ATP is produced, which is why you breathe faster when you exert yourself.

A higher VO2Max value means that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles work together particularly efficiently: your body can absorb, transport, and use oxygen better. This provides your muscles with more energy, which improves endurance, performance, and recovery. That is why the VO2Max value is considered one of the most important indicators of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health.

What are the signs of poor cardiorespiratory fitness?

A VO2Max test is strongly advised if you're experiencing any of the following signs: 

  • Limited stamina or endurance
  • Rapid fatigue during physical activity
  • Breathlessness with only minor exertion
  • Prolonged recovery time after workouts
  • Hitting a performance plateau in your training

VO2Max Testing: When Is It Worth It?

In preventive medicine, VO2Max is treated as a vital sign for longevity. We advise our clients to test annually to ensure their cardiovascular system remains robust as they age. This data-driven approach allows us to see exactly how your heart and lungs are responding to your current lifestyle. Starting with a lower value is not a setback, but rather a valuable starting point that offers the greatest potential for life-extending physiological improvements.

• Scientific Precision

• Personalization

• Prevention First

• Clarity & Guidance

• Long-Term Healthspan

What our customers say about us

Tobias, 42 – VO₂max & Fitness
I always thought I was in good shape — until my VO₂max results proved otherwise. Now I’m training with a clear target and can feel my endurance improving week by week.
Elena, 31 – VO₂max & Fitness
I was that person who did 45 minutes of steady-state cardio every single day and couldn't figure out why my fitness had stalled for two years. My VO₂max test was a wake-up call—I was fit, but I had no 'top end' power. It took some uncomfortable interval training to move the needle, but seeing my score finally budge from 38 to 42 was the proof I needed that I wasn't just spinning my wheels anymore.
Thomas, 39 – VO₂max & Fitness
I’m not an athlete, and I have no interest in running marathons. But after reading about how VO₂max is a massive predictor of life expectancy, I got curious. My initial result was 'Below Average' for my age, which was a tough pill to swallow since I thought my weekend walks were enough. It’s been six months of more intentional, heart-rate-based training, and I can honestly say I don't get that heavy-chest feeling on the stairs anymore.
Maya, 26 – VO₂max & Fitness
As someone who loves heavy lifting, I always viewed cardio as a chore that would make me lose muscle. But I noticed I was gassing out during my higher-rep sets, not because my muscles failed, but because I couldn't breathe. Improving my VO₂max has actually made me a better lifter; my rest periods are shorter and my heart rate recovers so much faster.
Daniel, 46 – VO₂max & Fitness
With a high-stress job and two kids, I used to feel 'tired' all the time, which I assumed was just part of being in my mid-40s. Tracking my VO₂max showed me that my 'battery' was just small.
