VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen during exercise. It serves as a quantifiable indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. The process begins when you inhale, and your lungs absorb oxygen, transferring it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your various organs and muscles. Within the muscle cells, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. ATP supplies the power required for muscular movement and physical effort. The greater your capacity to take in and use oxygen, the more ATP your body can generate, explaining why your breathing rate increases with exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems—including the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles—are functioning in a highly efficient, coordinated manner. This synergy enables your body to more effectively absorb, deliver, and utilize oxygen. The result is an increased energy supply to your muscles, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For these reasons, VO2Max is regarded as a primary metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as the primary indicator for longevity, we advise undergoing a test at least once annually to assess your current level and determine what training is needed to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. It also serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval workouts on your longevity. A VO2Max measurement can help direct your goals and training priorities. Beginning with a lower value presents a significant chance for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to support their goal of a longer, healthier existence. To accomplish this, our work is centered on several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on detecting health risks before they develop into problems by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than simply responding to illness, we develop straightforward, individualized strategies aimed at preserving health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, complemented by actionable measures they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we guide patients in constructing a longer, more healthful 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:
