The Importance of Your VO2Max Value

VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during physical exertion. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. When you inhale, your lungs take in oxygen that is then released into your circulatory system. This oxygen is transported by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. To generate ATP, the body's principal energy source, muscle cells require oxygen. ATP gives muscles the power they need for movement and physical effort. The more oxygen your body can take in and use, the more ATP you can create, which is why your breathing accelerates during exertion.

A higher VO2Max signifies that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are all working together with particular efficiency: your body is better able to absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This process delivers more energy to your muscles, which enhances endurance, boosts performance, and speeds up recovery. This is why the VO2Max measurement is seen as one of the most vital indicators of cardiovascular health and long-term well-being.

Symptoms of a Low VO2Max

We strongly advise getting your VO2Max tested, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms: 

  • Poor stamina
  • Rapid fatigue during physical activity
  • Breathlessness after minor effort
  • Delayed recovery following exercise
  • Stagnant performance despite consistent training

When to Consider a VO2Max Test

As a key indicator of longevity, we suggest testing it at least once a year to evaluate your level and pinpoint training requirements to improve your chances of aging healthily. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to determine if your cardiovascular and interval training has produced a notable impact on your longevity. VO2Max provides guidance for your ambitions and training priorities. Having a lower starting value offers a fantastic opportunity to make significant improvements.

What our customers say about us

Tobias, 42 – VO2Max & Fitness
I always thought I was in good shape — until my VO2Max results proved otherwise. Now I’m training with a clear target and can feel my endurance improving week by week.
Elena, 31 – VO2Max & Fitness
I was that person who did 45 minutes of steady-state cardio every single day and couldn't figure out why my fitness had stalled for two years. My VO2Max test was a wake-up call—I was fit, but I had no 'top end' power. It took some uncomfortable interval training to move the needle, but seeing my score finally budge from 38 to 42 was the proof I needed that I wasn't just spinning my wheels anymore.
Thomas, 39 – VO2Max & Fitness
I’m not an athlete, and I have no interest in running marathons. But after reading about how VO2Max is a massive predictor of life expectancy, I got curious. My initial result was 'Below Average' for my age, which was a tough pill to swallow since I thought my weekend walks were enough. It’s been six months of more intentional, heart-rate-based training, and I can honestly say I don't get that heavy-chest feeling on the stairs anymore.
Maya, 26 – VO2Max & Fitness
As someone who loves heavy lifting, I always viewed cardio as a chore that would make me lose muscle. But I noticed I was gassing out during my higher-rep sets, not because my muscles failed, but because I couldn't breathe. Improving my VO2Max has actually made me a better lifter; my rest periods are shorter and my heart rate recovers so much faster.
Daniel, 46 – VO2Max & Fitness
With a high-stress job and two kids, I used to feel 'tired' all the time, which I assumed was just part of being in my mid-40s. Tracking my VO2Max showed me that my 'battery' was just small.
