VO2Max quantifies how effectively your body utilizes oxygen amidst physical exertion. It serves as a measurable indicator of your fitness level and is the primary benchmark for longevity. As you inhale, oxygen is taken in by your lungs and passed into your bloodstream. From there, red blood cells carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. To create ATP, the body’s principal energy source, muscle cells require oxygen. This ATP is what fuels your muscles for movement and physical effort. The reason you breathe more rapidly during strenuous activity is that increased oxygen absorption and use lead to greater ATP generation.
An elevated VO2Max indicates that your heart, lungs, circulatory system, and muscles are operating together with high efficiency, meaning your body is better at absorbing, transporting, and utilizing oxygen. This process supplies your muscles with increased energy, which in turn enhances endurance, boosts performance, and speeds up recovery. Consequently, the VO2Max score is recognized as one of the most vital measures of cardiovascular fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as the primary indicator for longevity, we advise testing your VO2Max at least once a year to evaluate your current status and pinpoint training requirements for promoting healthy aging. It serves as an effective follow-up biomarker to determine if your cardio and interval training are positively impacting your longevity. VO2Max provides valuable guidance for your training objectives and focus. A lower starting value offers an excellent opportunity for substantial improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life, empowering them to live longer and more healthfully. To accomplish this mission, our approach is centered on several key tenets:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting potential risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into health issues. Rather than simply responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies for preserving health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, complemented by actionable steps for immediate implementation. By centering our practice on prevention and clarity, we guide patients in constructing 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:
