VO2Max quantifies how effectively your body utilizes oxygen during physical exertion. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is a primary indicator of longevity. When you inhale, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then transported by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. Oxygen is required by muscle cells to generate ATP, the body's principal energy source. ATP provides the power muscles need for movement and physical effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP is synthesized, which is why your breathing accelerates during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score signifies that your heart, lungs, circulatory system, and muscles are operating together with high efficiency, meaning your body can absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen more effectively. This process supplies your muscles with increased energy, which in turn boosts endurance, enhances performance, and speeds up recovery. This is why the VO2Max measurement is recognized as one of the most critical indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
As a primary indicator of longevity, we suggest testing it at least once a year to evaluate your current level and pinpoint training requirements to improve your chances of aging healthily. It is an excellent follow-up biomarker for determining if your cardio and interval training have meaningfully impacted your longevity. VO2Max serves to orient your ambitions and training priorities. Having a lower starting value provides an excellent opportunity to make significant improvements.
Our main objective is to help people feel their best at every age and empower them to live longer, more healthful lives. To accomplish this, we adhere to several foundational principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach is centered on detecting risks with early, precise diagnostics before they manifest as health issues. Instead of merely reacting to illness, we formulate clear, individualized strategies to sustain long-term wellness. Our purpose is to furnish every patient with a thorough understanding of their body, accompanied by practical actions they can implement today. With prevention and clarity as our cornerstones, we assist patients in building 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:
