VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as a key indicator of longevity and provides an objective assessment of your fitness level. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. This oxygen is 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. ATP supplies the power required for muscular contraction 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 are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, deliver, and utilize oxygen. This enhanced oxygen utilization results in greater energy availability for your muscles, leading to better endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a crucial metric for evaluating cardiovascular health and overall longevity.
We strongly advise getting your VO2Max tested, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Since it is a crucial indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine what training is needed to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to assess if your cardiovascular and interval workouts have meaningfully impacted your longevity. Your VO2Max can direct your training goals and areas of focus. A lower starting value presents a significant chance 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, our work is centered on several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting potential risks before they develop into health issues by using early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with a thorough comprehension of their own body, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the center of our practice, we empower patients to construct a longer, more vibrant 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:
