VO2Max measures your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while you are physically active. It serves as an impartial indicator of your fitness level and is the primary biomarker for longevity. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. Within muscle cells, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, the body's principal energy currency. ATP supplies the energy required for muscular movement and physical exertion. The greater your capacity to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP your body can generate, explaining why your breathing rate increases with physical effort.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems—including the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles—are operating in exceptional harmony, allowing your body to more effectively absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen. This enhanced efficiency delivers more energy to your muscles, resulting in better endurance, heightened performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as one of the most critical metrics for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Given its role as the primary indicator for longevity, we advise an annual test to establish your baseline and determine any training requirements needed to enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to evaluate the impact of your cardiovascular and interval training regimens on your long-term health. Your VO2Max score can help direct your fitness goals and shape the focus of your training. Beginning with a lower value presents a significant opportunity for making substantial improvements.
Our primary commitment is to empower individuals to feel optimal at every stage of life, assisting them in their pursuit of a longer, healthier existence. To accomplish this mission, our approach is centered on a set of fundamental principles:
At The Longevity Practice, our methodology centers on utilizing early and precise diagnostics to identify potential health risks before they develop into serious issues. Rather than adopting a reactive stance to illness, we proactively develop clear, individualized strategies aimed at preserving health over the long term. We strive to provide each patient with a profound comprehension of their own physiology, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. By placing prevention and clarity at the heart of our practice, we guide our patients toward constructing a longer 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:
