What Is VO₂ Max—And Why Should You Care?
Understanding this one number could change how you think about your health.
VO₂ Max: Your Body’s Oxygen Engine
VO₂ max is one of the clearest measures of how much energy your body can produce when demand is high.
Think of it like engine size. A higher VO₂ max usually means you can do more work without redlining—and recover faster afterward.
And here’s the good news: it’s trainable.
What it changes in real life:
Stairs don’t spike your breathing — you stay steady instead of gasping.
You can hold a stronger pace without that “I’m redlining” feeling.
You recover faster — heart rate settles quicker, and you’re ready again sooner.
VO₂ Max: Your Longevity Reserve
One of the Strongest Predictors of Longevity
Multiple large-scale studies show VO₂ max often rivals or exceeds traditional risk factors in predictive power. In some large cohorts, low fitness carries risk comparable to major traditional risk factors.
View JAMA StudyYour Body’s Energy Production Capacity
Every cell in your body needs oxygen to produce energy. Higher VO₂ max means more oxygen delivery, which means more energy available for everything—from intense exercise to healing from illness.
A Window Into Overall Health
VO₂ max reflects the health of your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and mitochondria all at once. When it improves, it signals that multiple systems are working better together.
Here’s the Bottom Line
Doctors have known for decades that low cardiorespiratory fitness is dangerous—in some large cohorts, it carries risk comparable to major traditional risk factors like high blood pressure or cholesterol. Yet most people have never had their VO₂ max measured, and fewer still are doing anything to improve it.
The good news? VO₂ max is trainable at any age. And improving it can significantly reduce your risk of the diseases that cut lives short.
The Quiet Decline Most People Never Notice
On average, adults lose about 1% of VO₂ max capacity per year after peak — including well-trained athletes.
The Decline Accelerates With Age
While ~1% per year is the average, the reality is more nuanced. Decline is slower when you’re younger and accelerates significantly after 50—especially for sedentary individuals.
Key insight: Active individuals can cut their decline rate in half compared to sedentary peers. But even active people experience accelerated loss after 50 without targeted intervention.
Age-Related VO₂ Max Decline vs. LiveO2 Restoration
Restore Your VO₂ Max—Then Raise the Ceiling
Most people don’t notice decline all at once. They just notice the signs: recovery takes longer, workouts feel harder for the same output, energy is harder to access, and confidence quietly fades.
Underneath, your VO₂ max—your maximum oxygen capacity—tends to drift down over time. That’s the “quiet decline.”
LiveO2 can restore lost VO₂ max—and help you exceed what most people can reach with standard training at their home altitude.
For the Average Person
You can roll back the clock on lost VO₂ max—often reclaiming the oxygen capacity you had years ago without living in the gym.
The result is more physiological margin: daily life feels easier, your heart rate stays calmer under load, and recovery improves.
For Trained Athletes
If you already train hard, the problem usually isn’t effort—it’s plateau.
LiveO2 adds a fundamentally different stimulus (Adaptive Contrast) that can help you break through your current ceiling and push VO₂ max higher—without needing months of altitude exposure.

Results vary by baseline fitness, age, altitude, and consistency.
What a ~20% VO₂ Max Increase Can Mean for Longevity
When you expand your oxygen engine, population-level research consistently links that to lower long-term risk. Here’s what a typical LiveO2-level improvement could translate to.
A ~20% VO₂ max gain translates to these estimated long-term benefits:
Lower All-Cause Mortality
Reduced risk of death from any cause
Lower CV Mortality
Reduced heart-related death risk
Lower Dementia Risk
Reduced dementia incidence (The Lancet)
Lower Cancer Mortality
Reduced cancer death risk
More Than “Better Cardio”
A ~20% VO₂ max increase is a meaningful expansion of your oxygen engine—translating to materially lower long-term risk across the biggest categories that shorten healthspan.
Real Results from Real Athletes
Hear from those who’ve experienced the LiveO2 difference.
Stephen McCain
Olympic Hall of Fame Gymnast
Used LiveO2 to improve VO2 max and extend his competitive career years beyond what he thought possible.
“I wish I’d had this 20 years ago.”
The Obvious Question: “Why Not Just Do Cardio?”
You can. And you should.
LiveO2 doesn’t replace your training — it amplifies it.
You still exercise. You still sweat. But by alternating oxygen-rich and oxygen-reduced air, LiveO2 increases the intensity of the stimulus your body responds to.
That’s why many users see VO₂max improvements that are dramatically higher than conventional training on normal air—so the same workout can deliver a much bigger adaptation.

Learn more about VO₂max for athletesBecause VO₂max doesn’t improve from movement alone. It improves when you accumulate enough time at the right signal: high oxygen demand + high cardiovascular strain + repeatable quality exposure. LiveO2 helps you stack more of those “quality minutes” without needing endless volume.
Time to ~20% VO₂max Gain
Weeks instead of months (example-based)
Normal-air timeline reflects typical HIIT study ranges for major VO₂max gains; LiveO2 timeline based on Tom Butler example (~28% in 11 weeks). Individual results vary by starting fitness, training adherence, and recovery.
Tom Butler’s VO₂max Journey
On an accelerated protocol, Tom trained 15 minutes per session, 5x per week using LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast. After 11 weeks—under 20 hours of total training—his results exceeded typical expectations.
Tom followed an accelerated plan; your protocol may differ. Most users train 3x per week.
This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t anecdotal. This is measured, documented improvement—the kind that separates elite performers from everyone else.

How LiveO2 Works
Adaptive Contrast combines adaptation and recovery in a single session — without beating your body down.
Hypoxic Trigger
Briefly breathe reduced-oxygen air while exercising. This signals your body to adapt.
Hyperoxic Recovery
At peak exertion, the system switches to high-oxygen air (85%+). Oxygen floods the system, accelerating recovery.
Amplified Adaptation
Get the adaptation signal of altitude and the recovery environment of oxygen therapy — in one short session.
The Recovery Advantage: Oxygen-Powered Healing
LiveO2’s hyperoxic phases deliver benefits similar to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
Accelerated Tissue Repair
High oxygen delivery supports faster healing
Reduced Inflammation
Oxygen-rich blood helps calm inflammation
Enhanced Circulation
Improved blood flow reaches areas that need it
Faster Recovery
Measurable improvements in HRV and readiness
Why Oxygen Speeds Healing
Your body’s repair mechanisms are oxygen-dependent. When tissues receive elevated oxygen levels, cellular energy production increases, inflammation decreases, and healing accelerates.
What a LiveO2 Session Feels Like
It’s a short, structured session that creates a high-demand signal, then gives you a fast reset—so you can keep training hard without accumulating as much fatigue.
Warm up & lock in
Light movement to get circulation up.
Mask on, seal confirmed
Quick fit check. You’re ready.
LiveO2 protocol algorithm (guided + adaptive)
The system runs a structured hypoxic/hyperoxic sequence and adjusts the session in real time based on your oxygen response—so you get the right stimulus without guesswork.
The switch is the secret
Effort rises during the low-oxygen moments—then the oxygen-rich phase feels like a powerful “second wind,” helping you hit quality work again.
Out in ~15 minutes
Most people finish feeling like they trained—without the normal “wrecked” hangover.
Post-session breathwork (recovery lock-in)
A short guided breathing sequence helps shift you into recovery mode—so you leave calmer, more regulated, and ready for what’s next.
