VO2Max measures your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is a critical indicator of longevity. As you inhale, your lungs draw in oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your various organs and muscles. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. The energy required for muscle movement and physical effort is supplied by ATP. Your rate of breathing increases during exertion because a greater intake and use of oxygen leads to higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a crucial benchmark for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Since it is a primary indicator of longevity, we suggest testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This biomarker is an excellent tool for monitoring the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max measurement can help direct your fitness goals and shape the focus of your training regimen. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for making substantial improvements.
Our main commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to help them lead longer, healthier lives. To accomplish this, our work is centered on a few fundamental principles:
Here at The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting health risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into problems. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized 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 steps they can implement immediately. By centering our approach on prevention and clarity, 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:
