Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Years Lived Free of Cardiovascular Disease: Cardiovascular Lifetime Risk Pooling Project

Cardiorespiratory fitness and classification of risk of cardiovascular disease mortality.

BACKGROUND Cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, the extent to which fitness improves risk classification when added to traditional risk factors is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Fitness was measured by the Balke protocol in 66 371 subjects without prior CVD enrolled in the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study between 1970 and 2006; ...

The association between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE Maximum oxygen uptake is emerging as the measure of preference for expressing cardiorespiratory fitness for the purposes of surveys of physical activity, due to its greater objectivity and lower propensity to errors. Studies indicate that this measure is better correlated with cardiovascular diseases. This paper proposes to relate cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents with their ...

Exercise Physiology Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Classification of Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Mortality

Objectives To determine the association between fitness and lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Background: Higher levels of traditional risk factors are associated with marked differences in lifetime risks for CVD. However, data are sparse regarding the association between fitness and the lifetime risk for CVD. Methods: We followed 11,049 men who underwent clinical examination at t...

Cardiorespiratory fitness in young adulthood and the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors.

CONTEXT Low cardiorespiratory fitness is an established risk factor for cardiovascular and total mortality; however, mechanisms responsible for these associations are uncertain. OBJECTIVE To test whether low fitness, estimated by short duration on a maximal treadmill test, predicted the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors and whether improving fitness (increase in treadmill tes...
