VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen while you exercise. It serves as a key indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. The process begins when you breathe, as your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your blood. From there, red blood cells carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. Your muscle cells rely on oxygen to create ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. ATP is what supplies your muscles with the power required for physical movement and effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP your body can generate, explaining why your breathing rate increases during strenuous activity.
A high VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are working together with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This enhanced process delivers more energy to your muscles, leading to improved endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as one of the most critical indicators for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly suggest a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Given its role as a key marker for longevity, we advise undergoing this test at least once annually to evaluate your current level and determine training requirements to improve your prospects for healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to gauge whether your cardiovascular and interval training routines have positively impacted your longevity markers. Your VO2Max score can help direct your fitness goals and shape your training emphasis. A lower starting value presents a significant opportunity for making substantial improvements.
Our primary mission is to empower individuals to feel optimal at every stage of life and to assist them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this, our approach is centered on several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting health risks before they develop into problems by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than simply reacting to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies aimed at preserving health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, 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 foundation for a longer, 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:
