VO2Max measures your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while exercising. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your organs and muscles. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscle contraction and physical effort. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP is generated, which explains why your breathing rate increases during exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning with remarkable efficiency, allowing your body to better absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This process delivers more energy to your muscles, enhancing endurance, boosting performance, and speeding up recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max value is regarded as one of the most vital metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
As it is a primary marker for longevity, we suggest an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine training requirements to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to assess if your cardiovascular and interval training has meaningfully impacted your longevity. VO2Max provides valuable guidance for your ambitions and helps to direct your training focus. Beginning with a lower score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our main focus is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to support them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to several fundamental principles:

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:
