VO2Max indicates the efficiency with which your body utilizes oxygen amid physical exertion. This measurement provides an objective assessment of your fitness level and serves as a crucial indicator of longevity. Upon inhalation, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your circulation. The oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your various organs and muscles. Within muscle cells, oxygen is essential for generating ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. This ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular contraction and physical effort. An increased capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate accelerates during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score signifies that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive more energy, resulting in enhanced endurance, superior performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a primary metric for evaluating cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term wellness.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is the primary indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to assess your current level and determine training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This biomarker serves as an excellent follow-up to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max score can help direct your personal goals and the focus of your training regimen. A lower initial value presents a significant opportunity for making substantial improvements.

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:
