I don't know why you would expect the healthcare system to do all of that stuff. If you want to know your VO2 Max you can just go to the local running track and execute a Cooper Test for free. But the results aren't really actionable. Regardless of the quantitative result, unless you're already an elite athlete the prescription will always be the same: exercise more.
Are you exercising enough or do you need to exercise more is an actionable question worth asking.
