VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a primary biomarker for longevity. The process begins when you inhale, and your lungs absorb oxygen, transferring it to your bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your various organs and muscles. Within the muscle cells, oxygen is crucial for creating ATP, the body's principal energy source. ATP supplies the power necessary for muscular movement and physical effort. Your capacity to absorb and use more oxygen directly relates to increased ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases with strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning with exceptional efficiency: your body can take in, circulate, and metabolize oxygen more effectively. This provides your muscles with a greater supply of energy, leading to better endurance, heightened performance, and faster recovery. For these reasons, the VO2Max metric is regarded as one of the most critical measures of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Given its role as a primary indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to establish your level and pinpoint training requirements to improve your chances of healthy aging. It acts as an excellent follow-up biomarker to assess if your cardio and interval training have made a meaningful impact on your longevity. VO2Max can help direct your goals and training emphasis. Starting from a lower value presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary mission is to assist individuals in achieving optimal well-being at every stage of life and to empower them to live longer, more healthful lives. We accomplish this by adhering to several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on detecting potential risks before they evolve into health issues by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than responding to illness, we formulate clear, individualized strategies to preserve long-term health. Our objective is to furnish every patient with a thorough comprehension of their body, coupled with actionable steps they can implement immediately. With prevention and clarity as our foundation, we empower patients to build 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:
