VO2Max is a measurement of your body's efficiency in using oxygen while you are physically active. This provides an objective assessment of your fitness level and serves as a crucial indicator for longevity. As you inhale, oxygen enters your lungs and is then transferred to your bloodstream. From there, red blood cells carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. It is ATP that supplies the necessary energy for muscular movement and physical effort. An increased capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate accelerates during exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. The result is a greater energy supply to your muscles, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as one of the most vital metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is a key longevity indicator, we suggest an annual test to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This biomarker is an excellent tool for monitoring the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training regimens on your longevity. Your VO2Max score can help direct your fitness goals and shape your training priorities. A lower initial score presents a significant chance for measurable improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to empower them to live longer, healthier lives. To accomplish this mission, our work is centered on several fundamental principles:
Here at The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on using early and precise diagnostics to identify potential health risks before they develop into problems. Rather than simply responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies designed to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with a thorough understanding of their own biology, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we guide patients in constructing a longer and healthier life.

In our practice, we rely exclusively on evidence-based methods and medical diagnostics that have been scientifically proven to make a difference. Our focus is on preventing the “four horsemen” of aging—cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration—rather than offering trends like epigenetic age tests or wellness drips. Our Prevention strategy addresses tailored exercises, nutrition, sleep, mental health and if necessary support by supplement and medication.
The cost for VO2Max Session is based on the German healthcare pricing system (GOÄ – Gebührenordnung für Ärzte). We encourage you not to stop at VO2Max test alone, but to begin your full Longevity Journey with us. Here is what our protocol looks like:
