VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen during exercise. It serves as a key indicator of longevity and provides an objective assessment of your fitness level. As you breathe, oxygen is taken in by the lungs and transferred into the blood. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. To create ATP, the primary energy currency of the body, muscle cells require oxygen. Muscles rely on ATP for the power required for exertion and movement. Your breathing rate increases during exertion because a greater capacity to absorb and use oxygen results in higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This enhanced oxygen utilization supplies your muscles with increased energy, leading to better endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For these reasons, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as a critical benchmark for both cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly suggest a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Since it is a crucial indicator of longevity, we advise an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine specific training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to measure the impact of your cardiovascular and interval workouts on your longevity. Your VO2Max can direct your training objectives and areas of focus. Beginning with a lower score presents a significant chance for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling their best regardless of age and to guide them toward longer, healthier lives. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to a number of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on using early and precise diagnostics to identify potential risks before they develop into health issues. Rather than simply treating diseases as they arise, we develop straightforward, customized plans aimed at preserving health over the long term. We strive 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 and healthier future.

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:
