VO2Max defines the efficiency with which your body utilizes oxygen during exertion. It serves as an objective measure of your fitness level and is a crucial indicator of longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. To generate ATP, the primary energy currency of the body, muscle cells require oxygen. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscular movement and effort. Your capacity to absorb and use more oxygen directly correlates to greater ATP production, explaining the increased respiratory rate during strenuous activity.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, circulatory system, and muscles are functioning together with remarkable efficiency, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. Consequently, your muscles receive a greater supply of energy, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a paramount metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term wellness.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Being a primary indicator of longevity, we suggest an annual test to evaluate your current level and determine specific 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. Your VO2Max score can direct your goals and training emphasis. A lower initial score presents a significant chance for improvement.
Our fundamental goal is to help individuals feel their absolute best at any age, enabling them to live longer and more healthful lives. To realize this vision, we adhere to several key principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our methodology centers on pinpointing health risks before they develop into problems, using precise, early-stage diagnostics. We proactively create straightforward, personalized strategies for maintaining lifelong health, rather than simply reacting to illness. Our objective is to equip each patient with a thorough comprehension of their own body, providing them with actionable measures they can implement immediately. With prevention and clarity as our foundation, we empower patients to cultivate 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:
