Your VO2 max is one of the primary predictors of your longevity, offering invaluable insights into your cardiovascular health and overall fitness. But what exactly is VO2 max, and why is it so important?
Understanding VO2 Max
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during intense exercise. It's a key indicator of your aerobic endurance and cardiovascular health. Higher VO2 max levels generally correlate with lower risks of chronic diseases and improved longevity. Essentially, it’s a reflection of how efficiently your body can take in and use oxygen—a critical factor for sustaining high-intensity physical activities and overall vitality.

Lessons on Ageing and Fitness
Drawing inspiration from Richard Morgan’s story, who at 93 is as fit as a 40-year-old, it's clear that maintaining a high VO2 max can contribute to a healthier, more active life as we age. Morgan’s dedication to fitness highlights the importance of regular, vigorous exercise and its impact on aging.
