VO2Max quantifies how effectively your body utilizes oxygen during exertion. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is a crucial indicator of longevity. Through respiration, your lungs draw in oxygen and pass it into your circulation. This oxygen is then transported via red blood cells to your muscles and organs. Your muscle cells rely on oxygen to create ATP, which is the body's primary energy currency. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular movement and effort. The greater the amount of oxygen you can take in and use, the more ATP your body can generate, explaining why your breathing accelerates during physical activity.
An elevated VO2Max score signifies that your heart, lungs, circulatory system, and muscles are functioning together with remarkable efficiency. Your body is better able to take in, deliver, and utilize oxygen. This results in a greater supply of energy to your muscles, which in turn enhances endurance, boosts performance, and speeds up recovery. It is for this reason that VO2Max is regarded as one of the most vital metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as a primary indicator of longevity, we advise undergoing a test at least once annually to assess your current level and pinpoint training requirements for promoting healthy aging. It also serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker for evaluating the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your long-term health. The VO2Max measurement can help direct your goals and training emphasis. A lower initial score provides a substantial opportunity for enhancement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to empower them to live longer, more healthful lives. To accomplish this, we adhere to a number of fundamental 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 responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies for preserving long-term wellness. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, complemented by actionable measures for immediate implementation. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we guide patients in constructing a longer, healthier existence.

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:
