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 crucial marker for longevity. As you inhale, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your circulation. 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 primary energy currency of the body. The energy required for muscle contraction and physical effort comes from ATP. An increased capacity to take in and use oxygen results in greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, deliver, and consume oxygen. The result is a greater supply of energy to your muscles, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as one of the most significant metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and predicting long-term well-being.
We strongly suggest a VO2Max assessment if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as a primary indicator of longevity, we advise an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to assess if your cardiovascular and interval workouts have positively impacted your longevity markers. Your VO2Max score can direct your fitness goals and help you concentrate your training efforts. A lower initial value presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel optimal at every stage of life and to assist them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to a number of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on detecting health risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into problems. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies designed to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own physiology, 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:
