Tracking of activity and fitness and the relationship with cardiovascular disease risk factors

Article Abstract:

Activity and fitness and the relationship with cardiovascular disease risk factors have been studied with the finding that the longitudinal development of physical activity and maximal oxygen uptake (VO(sub.2max)) are related to a healthy cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profile, related to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol. Less clear is the relationship with the development of neuromotor fitness. Relationships among physical fitness, physical activity, and lipoproteins/blood pressure were seen to be much influenced by how fat the subject is.

Longitudinal changes in VO(sub)2max: associations with carotid IMT and arterial stiffness

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that from adolescence up to age 36, physical activity, as measured in terms of high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, helps maintain less arterial stiffness leading to mortality reduction from cardiovascular disease.

Effect of commuter cycling on physical performance of male and female employees

Article Abstract:

Results demonstrate that low intensity commuter cycling at 55-65% of the maximal oxygen uptake level, 3 times a week, and covering a daily distance of 6 kilometers increases the physical performance of both men and women.
