VO2Max quantifies your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. This measurement provides an objective assessment of your fitness level and serves as a crucial indicator for longevity. During respiration, your lungs draw in oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your various organs and muscles. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. The energy necessary for muscular movement and physical effort is supplied by ATP. Your rate of breathing increases during exertion because a greater intake and use of oxygen leads to higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score signifies that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning together with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as a primary metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as a primary indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to assess your VO2Max level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. 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 fitness goals and training priorities. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our main objective is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life while empowering them to lead longer, healthier lives. To accomplish this, our work is centered around several fundamental principles:
Here at The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting potential risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into health issues. Rather than responding to illness, our approach is to develop straightforward, individualized strategies for 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 centering our practice on prevention and clarity, we guide patients in constructing 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:
