VO2Max measures the efficiency of your body's oxygen consumption during exercise. This provides an objective assessment of your fitness level and is a crucial indicator of longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into the bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your organs and muscles. Oxygen is essential for muscle cells to generate ATP, which serves as the body's primary energy currency. ATP supplies the power required for muscular movement and physical effort. An increased capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases with physical exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. The result is an increased energy supply to your muscles, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For these reasons, VO2Max is regarded as a primary metric for evaluating cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
Testing your VO2Max is strongly advised, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Because it is a crucial indicator of longevity, we suggest having your VO2Max tested at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This biomarker serves as an excellent follow-up measure to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training on your longevity. Your VO2Max score can help direct your personal goals and shape your training regimen. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to support their pursuit of a longer, healthier existence. To accomplish this, our work is centered on several fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting potential risks before they escalate into health issues by utilizing early and accurate diagnostics. Rather than simply responding to illness, we develop straightforward, customized strategies aimed at preserving health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with a thorough comprehension of their own body, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we empower patients to construct 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:
