VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a primary marker of longevity. The breathing process involves your lungs absorbing oxygen and transferring it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. Within the muscle cells, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, which is the principal energy currency of the body. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular contraction and physical effort. An increased capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases with physical exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates 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. As a result, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a critical measure of both cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
Testing your VO2Max is strongly advised, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Given its role as a primary marker for longevity, we advise testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your longevity. Your VO2Max can help direct your training goals and areas of focus. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling their optimal selves at every stage of life, enabling them to lead longer and healthier lives. To accomplish this, our work is centered around a number of key principles:
At The Longevity Practice, we concentrate on detecting risks before they evolve into health issues by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than responding to illness after it occurs, we develop straightforward, customized strategies to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with a thorough understanding of their own body, complemented by actionable measures they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we empower patients to construct a longer, healthier existence.

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:
