What Is VO₂ Max? The Fitness Marker Linked to Healthspan

VO₂ max is one of the most important fitness markers linked to healthspan, cardiovascular fitness, and healthy aging. In this video, we explain what VO₂ max measures, why it matters, and how improving it may support long-term wellbeing. Full article: https://longevityinsights.co.uk/what-is-vo%e2%82%82-max/ VO₂ max reflects how efficiently your body uses oxygen during intense exercise. In longevity science, it is often discussed alongside metabolism, inflammation, biomarkers, cardiovascular health, and overall physical resilience. While VO₂ max is not the only marker of healthy aging, higher aerobic fitness is strongly associated with better health outcomes and may help support a longer, more active healthspan.
