VO2Max measures your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. This oxygen is carried by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, the body’s primary energy currency. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscle contraction, movement, and exertion. Your body's capacity to absorb and use more oxygen results in greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. As a result, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max measurement is regarded as one of the most significant predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is a key marker for longevity, we suggest testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate the impact of your cardio and interval training on your longevity. Your VO2Max can help direct your training goals and focus. A lower starting value presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel their best at every stage of life and to support them in achieving a longer, healthier lifespan. To accomplish this, we adhere to a set of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our approach centers on detecting health risks before they develop into problems by using early and precise diagnostic methods.

We aim to provide each patient with a thorough understanding of their own body, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By emphasizing prevention and clarity, we empower our 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:
