VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as a key indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. As you inhale, your lungs draw in oxygen and deliver it into your circulation. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. The energy required for muscle contraction and physical effort is supplied by ATP. Your body's ability to produce more ATP is directly related to how much oxygen it can take in and use, explaining why your breathing rate increases during exertion.
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. This process supplies your muscles with greater energy, resulting in enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max metric is regarded as a fundamental measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and overall long-term wellness.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is a crucial marker for longevity, we suggest assessing your VO2Max at least once annually to establish your baseline and determine any 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 results can help direct your training goals and priorities. A lower initial score presents a valuable opportunity for significant improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling their optimal selves at every stage of life, enabling them to lead longer, healthier lives. To accomplish this, our work is guided by several foundational principles:
Here at The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting potential risks with precise, early-stage diagnostics before they can develop into health issues. Rather than merely responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies aimed at preserving 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 centering our approach on prevention and clear guidance, we empower our 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:
