Weight History Association With Current Cardiorespiratory And Muscular Fitness

High cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness are often associated with lower body fat mass. Age-associated increases in mass might be attenuated by maintaining a higher level of into middle-age. PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the individuals who have maintained during adulthood those had substantial and/or decreases adulthood. METHODS: Obese, overweight, non-obese adults were recruited participate. Long-term health weight history was collected retrospectively on 79 individuals. Total composition, maximal oxygen consumption, grip strength, isometric knee extension strength measured. Participants subsequently categorized based short term long-term loss history, fitness, muscle function for further analysis. RESULTS: (31 Male, 45 female, aged 41.0 ± 12.3 years) 29.2 10.1% having gained 9.3 11.7 kg since 20 years age. Current as indicated relative consumption 36.6 12.0 ml*kg-1*min-1. No significant relationship existed between gain age current (r = -0.12). differences observed after classification participants high vs. low nor fitness. CONCLUSIONS: independent past history. Despite limitations retrospective analysis inability determine previous levels these results imply that not protective against age-associated increases, but also destine an individual larger than normal gains
