Exercise Capacity, Biological Age, and Longevity: Unlocking the Power of Fitness with VO2 max Testing

VO₂ max testing is more than just a fitness metric—it’s one of the most accurate indicators of biological age and a powerful predictor of longevity. At Rowed to Fitness in Bend, Oregon, we integrate VO₂ max and metabolic testing into our training programs to measure exercise capacity, track health progress, and tailor workouts for maximum impact. Research shows that every 3.5 ml/kg/min increase in VO₂ max can extend life expectancy by 12%, making it a vital tool for improving cardiovascular health, reducing mortality risk, and unlocking a longer, more active life.
