VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen during exercise. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial biomarker for longevity. As you inhale, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your blood. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy source for the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. The energy needed for muscular movement and effort comes from ATP. Your breathing rate increases with exertion because a greater intake and use of oxygen leads to higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular system and muscles are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This process supplies your muscles with increased energy, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a fundamental measure of cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Because it is a key biomarker for longevity, we suggest an annual test to assess your current level and determine training requirements to support healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max can help direct your fitness goals and shape your training regimen. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel optimal at every stage of life while assisting them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this, our work is centered on several foundational principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on using early and precise diagnostics to identify health risks before they develop into problems. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies for sustaining long-term well-being. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, complemented by actionable steps for immediate implementation. By centering our practice on prevention and clarity, we empower patients to construct a longer, healthier future.

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:
