VO2Max is a measure of how efficiently your body utilizes oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a primary marker for longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your blood. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, the body's principal energy currency. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscle contraction and physical effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP is created, explaining why your breathing rate increases during exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This process delivers more energy to your muscles, resulting in enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as one of the most critical metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Since it is a primary marker for longevity, we advise testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This biomarker serves as an excellent follow-up to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your longevity. Your VO2Max result can help direct your training objectives and focus. A lower starting value presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling their best at every stage of life and to support them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this, our approach is centered on several fundamental principles:
Here at The Longevity Practice, our focus is on using precise, early diagnostics to identify health risks before they develop into problems. Rather than merely reacting to illness, we develop clear, individualized plans designed to preserve health over the long term. Our objective is to provide each patient with a thorough understanding of their own body, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we empower patients to construct 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:
