VO2 Max Assessment | MyHealthspan

Measure your cardiorespiratory fitness with a medically graded exercise test — and learn the exact training zones that protect your health for the long term.

How It Works

1
Order online Purchase your VO2 Max Assessment and our team coordinates your appointment at a partner clinic near you.
2
Complete the graded exercise test At the partner clinic, you perform a progressive treadmill or cycling test (30-45 minutes) while wearing a metabolic mask that measures your oxygen uptake in real time.
3
Receive your detailed VO2 Max report Your full performance analysis, personalized training zones, and age-normed benchmarks are compiled and delivered to your MyHealthspan app.
4
Optional Longevity Coach follow-up Review your results with a coach to build a cardiovascular training plan informed by your precise physiology and longevity goals.

What You'll Learn

  • Your precise aerobic fitness age compared to population norms — whether your cardiovascular system is older or younger than your birth certificate.
  • The exact training zones where you build versus sustain aerobic capacity, based on your personal ventilatory thresholds, not generic formulas.
  • How your cardiorespiratory fitness stacks up against longevity benchmarks — VO2 Max is one of the strongest known predictors of all-cause mortality.
  • Which specific exercise changes would have the greatest impact on your cardiovascular health and long-term healthspan.

What's Included

  • In-clinic VO2 Max graded exercise test at a partner facility
  • Full performance analysis report with ventilatory threshold data
  • Personalized cardiovascular training zones (Zone 1 through Zone 5)
  • Age- and sex-normed benchmarking against population standards
  • Results stored and accessible in your MyHealthspan app

Who This Is For

This is for someone who exercises regularly but wants to know whether they are training smart, not just hard. It is also for people who want to benchmark their cardiorespiratory fitness against longevity science, which shows that VO2 Max is one of the most powerful predictors of both lifespan and healthspan. This assessment is often chosen by runners, cyclists, and active adults between 35 and 65 who want to confirm their exercise is actually building the aerobic engine that protects them long-term. It is equally valuable for someone who has never considered themselves athletic but wants to understand exactly where they stand today and receive a clear, science-backed protocol to improve from that baseline.

What This Assessment Measures

VO2 Max

Your maximum oxygen uptake capacity, expressed in mL/kg/min. This single number is one of the strongest independent predictors of longevity and cardiovascular disease risk in medical research.

Ventilatory Threshold 1 (VT1)

The exercise intensity at which your body begins to rely more on carbohydrates for fuel. Training below VT1 builds aerobic base; above it builds capacity and speed.

Ventilatory Threshold 2 (VT2)

The intensity at which lactate accumulates faster than it can be cleared — your true anaerobic threshold. Knowing VT2 prevents overtraining and guides high-intensity work.

Personalized Aerobic Power Zones

Five training zones anchored to your specific VT1 and VT2, replacing generic heart rate formulas with zones built precisely for your physiology.

Cardiovascular Efficiency

How efficiently your heart and lungs deliver oxygen to working muscles at each exercise intensity, revealing whether your cardiovascular system is operating at its potential.

Age-Normed Benchmarking

Your VO2 Max compared to population reference ranges for your age and sex, with context on where you fall relative to longevity thresholds identified in clinical research.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does VO2 Max actually predict about my health?+
VO2 Max is one of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality ever identified. Research published in leading cardiology journals shows that moving from a low VO2 Max to a moderate one reduces mortality risk by more than any other single lifestyle change, including quitting smoking. It reflects how efficiently your cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together, and it declines with age unless actively maintained. Knowing your number gives you a baseline to protect and improve.
How do I prepare for the test?+
Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours before the test. Arrive well hydrated but do not eat a heavy meal within 2 hours of your appointment. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and proper footwear for treadmill or cycling. Avoid caffeine on the day of the test if possible, as it can elevate heart rate and affect results. Our team will send you full preparation instructions after you book your clinic appointment.
Is the test safe if I have a heart condition?+
If you have a diagnosed heart condition, arrhythmia, or have been advised by a physician to avoid strenuous exercise, you should discuss this test with your doctor before booking. The graded exercise test is a maximal effort protocol conducted in a clinical setting by trained professionals, and is considered very safe for healthy adults. Our partner clinics follow standard exercise testing safety protocols throughout the assessment.
What's a good VO2 Max score for my age?+
VO2 Max varies significantly by age and sex. As a general reference, a score above the 75th percentile for your age and sex is considered excellent, and research suggests that reaching "elite" or "superior" fitness categories dramatically reduces mortality risk. Your report will include age- and sex-normed benchmarks so you can see exactly where your number falls, and your Longevity Coach can explain what it means for your specific health goals.
How often should I retest?+
Most people benefit from retesting every 6 to 12 months, particularly if they have made meaningful changes to their training. VO2 Max responds to training within weeks in people who are currently sedentary or moderately active, making it a motivating metric to track over time. For people already highly trained, improvements are slower and annual retesting is typically sufficient to track progress.
