  • VO2 Max and Longevity: How to Measure and Improve Your Cardiorespiratory Fitness
    Why one fitness metric strongly predicts health and independence—and how to train it effectively

    One number may reveal more about your future fitness and independence than many standard blood tests: VO2 max. It reflects how effectively your body takes in, transports and uses oxygen—and is strongly associated with long-term health outcomes.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What VO2 max measures and why cardiorespiratory fitness matters for longevity
    • How to test it, from cardiopulmonary exercise testing to field tests and smartwatches
    • Which training methods improve VO2 max most effectively
    • How daily activity, nutrition and recovery support long-term progress

      • Check your age- and sex-based VO2 max percentile here with the VO2 max percentile calculator: https://www.kumc.edu/research/alzheimers-disease-research-center/fitness-ranking.html
