VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen amidst physical exertion. It serves as an impartial indicator of your fitness level and is the primary benchmark for longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried to your organs and muscles by red blood cells. To generate ATP, the body’s principal energy currency, muscle cells require oxygen. ATP supplies the energy necessary for muscle movement and physical effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen, the more ATP your body can produce, which is why your breathing accelerates during intense activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, circulatory system, and muscles are functioning together with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and make use of oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive more energy, which leads to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as one of the most vital indicators of cardiovascular fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
As the primary indicator for longevity, we advise testing it at least once a year to assess your current level and pinpoint training requirements to improve your chances of aging healthily. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to determine if your cardio and interval training have produced a meaningful impact on your longevity. VO2Max provides direction for your ambitions and training focus. Commencing from a lower baseline offers a substantial opportunity to make improvements.
Our main objective is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to empower them in pursuing longer, healthier existences. To accomplish this, our work is centered on several fundamental tenets:
At The Longevity Practice, our methodology centers on detecting risks prior to their development into health issues by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than addressing illnesses after they arise, we develop transparent, individualized strategies for preserving health over the long term. Our objective is to provide each patient with a thorough comprehension of their own body, complemented by actionable measures they can implement immediately. With prevention and clarity as our foundation, we assist patients in building a longer, more vibrant 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:
