Who it's for

Common questions: Physical Performance & Healthy Aging

What is VO₂ max and why does it matter?

VO₂ max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise. It is a key measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and is widely used to track healthy ageing.

What is sarcopenia?

Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Screening finds it early, when targeted exercise and nutrition can make the most difference.
