Cardiorespiratory Fitness as a Clinically Relevant Risk Factor
… was to provide evidence in support of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as a clinically relevant tool to manage lifestyle-based disease. The objective of Study 1 was to determine whether there is a difference in all-cause mortality risk between CRF achieved through physical activity (PA) …

Cardiorespiratory fitness in contemporary dance training and performance
… investigation of the relevance and importance of cardiorespiratory fitness in contemporary dance training and performance. Through an initial introduction and literature review, gaps in the current understanding of, and challenges presented by, dance training and performance practices are …

The Association Between Step Intensity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Adults
Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality risk. Physical activity is an established, modifiable determinant of CRF, and findings suggest that daily steps are positively associated with CRF. Whether step intensity is associated with CRF has …

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Postmenopausal Women
… becomes similar to that seen in men. Increased cardiorespiratory fitness and use of hormone replacement have been suggested as ways to improve the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profile. Unfortunately, very little is known about the effect of cardiorespiratory fitness on the CVD risk profile …

An Assessment of Obesity Through Lifestyle Self-monitoring and Cardiorespiratory Fitness
… assessing the joint association between cardiorespiratory fitness and excessive body weight compared to mortality. After searching two databases and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 articles were included in the analysis. Individuals who are fat and also fit had the same risk …

The Importance of Risk Stratification and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Pediatric Obesity
… both manuscripts displayed the lowest levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, suggesting an increased risk for complications associated with pediatric obesity.

Inclusive and adaptive assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness for population health research
This thesis addresses the challenge of measuring cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., fitness) in large population studies, overcoming logistical constraints and safety considerations associated with exercise testing that often lead to selection bias and distorted health associations. It presents the …

Cardiorespiratory fitness as a cardiovascular protective mechanism of endothelial dysfunction with aging
… exercise with aging leads to improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and preserves endothelial function in preclinical models via lower mitochondrial-derived ROS (mtROS) however, these effects have yet to be fully translated to humans. Here, we sought to investigate if an underlying …

The Impact of Cardiorespiratory Fitness on Cytotoxic T Cell Function and Metabolism
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a key indicator of the health and function of several bodily systems, but it is unknown how CRF impacts the function of specific immune cells such as cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (Tc). Tc utilize cytokines, such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), to orchestrate cell mediated …

Racial Differences in Cardiorespiratory Fitness between Blacks and Whites: A Meta-Analysis
PURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. Some researchers have speculated that Blacks have lower levels of CRF when compared to Whites, which may contribute to the health disparities in CVD. However, …

Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, memory, and self-efficacy in the aging brain
… previous research has demonstrated that cardiorespiratory fitness (Colcombe, Kramer, McAuley, Erickson, & Scalf, 2004; Erickson et al., 2011; Kramer et al., 1999) and physical activity (Angevaren, Aufdemkampe, Verhaar, Aleman, & Vanhees, 2008; Flöel et al., 2010) also can increase or help …

Longitudinal Analyses of Physical Activity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness on Adiposity and Glucose Levels
… longitudinal trends of physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and body mass index (BMI) in a group of healthy women, 2) the associations between changes of adiposity and CRF in a group of adult men, and 3) the effects of CRF on aging-glucose trajectory in a group of healthy …

‘Fit for surgery’; retrospective analysis of the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and postoperative outcome
… of postoperative deaths. Evidence suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) may be an independent predictor of postoperative outcome. However, this relationship requires further understanding and optimisation to better inform patient care.<br/><br/>Aims: The overarching objective was to …

The Association of Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Muscular Strength With Mental Health Outcomes
… and joint associations of muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with depressive symptoms in men, 2) to examine prospectively the joint associations and relative independent effects of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and CRF with depressive symptoms in women and men, and 3) …

Association between depression and cardiorespiratory fitness in general population and patients with heart disease
Depression symptom severity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are both predictors of mortality and disability in healthy individuals and patients with heart disease. However, the relationship between the two is unclear. We conducted two systematic reviews and meta-analyses in otherwise healthy …

Cardiorespiratory fitness as a modulator of hippocampal subfield structure and function in cognitive aging
… in older adults have demonstrated that greater cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with greater volume of the hippocampus, mitigated age-related decline in spatial mnemonic discrimination, and better visuospatial memory. Nonetheless, how CRF modulates the underlying structural and …

Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Clustering of Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Adolescents and Young Adults
… the longitudinal association between change in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the development of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn), in a large population of adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 35 years, followed over an average of 6 years. The three studies also accounted for the potential …
