I recently had my VO2 Max measured with a hospital based CPET(cardio pulmonary exercise test)

Your VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise. It reflects the integrated function of your:

-Heart and circulatory system
-Lungs and ventilation
-Oxygen transport
-Muscles and mitochondria

Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most consistently studied functional markers associated with long-term health outcomes. Higher fitness is linked with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, functional decline and all course mortality. 

However, this does not mean that your vo2 max will predict exactly how long you will live - it’s one figure that we used to evaluate your risk - the higher number your VO2 max is, the lower your risk is especially if your baseline is lower than 30ml/kg/min.

Anyone wanna guess what my result was?

I’ve always wanted to measure what my actual VO2max was. Thank you @samitivej for the CPET test and for looking after me.

if you’re thinking of getting your VO2 max measured, simply call up the hospital and book an appointment with the doctor - they will sort you out
