VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while exercising. It serves as a key indicator of longevity and provides an objective assessment of your fitness level. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your circulation. This oxygen is then carried to your muscles and organs by red blood cells. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular movement and physical effort. Your breathing rate increases with exertion because a greater capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, deliver, and utilize oxygen. This enhanced oxygen utilization supplies more energy to your muscles, resulting in improved endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a crucial measure of both cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly suggest a VO2Max assessment if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Since it is a primary indicator of longevity, we advise testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This biomarker serves as an excellent tool for monitoring the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max score can help direct your training goals and priorities. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel optimal at every stage of life and to assist them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to a set of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, we are dedicated to detecting potential health risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into serious issues. Rather than treating existing illnesses, our approach involves crafting distinct, individualized strategies to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own physiology, complemented by actionable steps for immediate implementation. By centering our practice on prevention and clear guidance, we empower patients to construct a life of greater length and vitality.

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:
