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.
We highly recommend testing your VO2Max especially if you have one of following symptoms:
As the key marker for longevity, we recommend it at least 1x per year to test your level and identify training needs to increase your chance for healthy aging. It is a great follow up biomarker to see whether your cardio and interval training had a significant effect on your longevity. VO2Max helps guide your ambition and training focus. Starting at a lower point gives you a great opportunity to improve it.
Our priority is helping people feel their best at any age and supporting them in living longer, healthier lives. To achieve this, we focus on several core principles:
At The Longevity Practice, we focus on identifying risks before they become health problems through early, precise diagnostics. Instead of reacting to disease, we create clear, personalized plans to maintain long-term health. Our goal is to give every patient a deep understanding of their body along with practical steps they can take today. With prevention and clarity at the core, we help patients build 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:
