VO2Max quantifies how effectively your body utilizes oxygen amid physical exertion. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is the primary indicator of longevity. During breathing, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your organs and muscles. Muscle cells require oxygen to generate ATP, the body's principal energy currency. ATP supplies muscles with the power needed for movement and effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP your body can create, which is why your breathing rate increases during strenuous activity.
A superior VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning together with exceptional efficiency: your system is better able to take in, transport, and make use of oxygen. This process delivers more energy to your muscles, which in turn boosts endurance, enhances performance, and speeds up recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as one of the most vital gauges of cardiovascular health and long-term wellness.
We strongly suggest getting your VO2Max tested, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
As the most critical marker for longevity, we advise testing it at least once annually to establish your baseline and pinpoint training requirements to improve your prospects for healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to determine if your cardiovascular and interval training has meaningfully impacted your longevity. VO2Max can help shape your aspirations and training emphasis. A lower initial score provides a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our main focus is on enabling people to feel optimal at any age and assisting them in leading longer, more healthful lives. To accomplish this, we adhere to several foundational principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting risks with early, accurate diagnostics before they develop into health concerns. Rather than reacting to illness, we formulate transparent, customized plans to sustain long-term well-being. Our aim is to equip every patient with a profound knowledge of their own body and provide them with concrete actions they can implement immediately. With prevention and clarity as our cornerstones, we guide patients in constructing 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:
