VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen while you are active. It serves as an unbiased indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. During respiration, your lungs draw in oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. This oxygen is carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, the primary energy currency of the body, muscle cells require oxygen. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscles to perform movements and handle physical stress. Your breathing rate increases during exertion because a greater intake and use of oxygen results in higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency: this means your body is superior at absorbing, transporting, and utilizing oxygen. As a result, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and quicker recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as a primary indicator of both cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term wellness.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its status as a critical marker for longevity, we suggest an annual test to evaluate your level and pinpoint training requirements that can enhance your prospects for aging healthily. This biomarker is an excellent tool for monitoring the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your longevity. Your VO2Max score can help direct your goals and sharpen your training focus. A lower starting value 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, our work is centered around several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they evolve into health issues. Rather than simply responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies for preserving health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, accompanied by actionable steps for immediate implementation. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we empower patients to cultivate 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:
