VO2Max measures your body's efficiency at utilizing oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is a critical indicator of longevity. During respiration, your lungs draw in oxygen and deliver it to your bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscle contraction and physical effort. Your body's ability to absorb and use more oxygen results in greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases during exertion.
An elevated VO2Max value indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning with high efficiency, meaning your body is better at absorbing, transporting, and utilizing oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a paramount metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Because it is a key indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to assess if your cardiovascular and interval training routines have positively impacted your longevity. Your VO2Max score can help direct your fitness goals and training priorities. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to support their pursuit of a longer, healthier existence. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to a number of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on detecting potential risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into health issues. Rather than responding 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 forefront, we empower our patients to construct a longer and 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:
