VO2Max defines your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen amid physical exertion. It serves as an impartial measure of your fitness level and is the primary indicator of longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. To generate ATP, the principal energy source for the body, muscle cells require oxygen. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular movement and effort. A greater capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to higher ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning together with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, deliver, and utilize oxygen. This process results in increased energy for your muscles, enhancing your stamina, physical performance, and recuperation. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as a crucial benchmark for cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Being the primary indicator of longevity, we advise an annual test to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate if your cardiovascular and interval training have meaningfully impacted your longevity. Your VO2Max can help direct your goals and the focus of your training regimen. Beginning with a lower value presents a significant chance for enhancement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling their optimal selves regardless of age and to aid them in leading longer, more healthful lives. To accomplish this, our work is centered around a number of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting risks prior to their development into health issues by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, accompanied by actionable measures they can implement immediately. With prevention and lucidity as our foundation, we guide patients in constructing a longer, healthier existence.

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:
