VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. It serves as a key indicator of longevity and provides an objective assessment of your fitness level. The process begins when your lungs draw in oxygen, which then enters your bloodstream. From there, red blood cells carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. Within your muscles, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, the primary energy currency of the body. This ATP is what supplies your muscles with the necessary power for physical movement and effort. Your body's capacity to absorb and use more oxygen results in greater ATP production, 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 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, VO2Max is regarded as a crucial measure of both cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is a crucial 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 measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max result can help direct your training goals and areas of focus. A lower initial score presents a valuable opportunity for significant improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to help them lead longer, healthier existences. To accomplish this, our approach is centered on a number of key principles:
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 a thorough comprehension of their own physiology, complemented by actionable steps for immediate implementation. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we empower patients to cultivate a more extended and healthier 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:
