Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower abdominal fat independent of body mass index

Article Abstract:

A study to determine whether for a given body mass index (BMI) men with higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) have lower waist circumference (WC) and less total abdominal, abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (AT) compared to men with low CRF, is undertaken. The inference is that the ability of CRF to attenuate the health risks associated with BMI can be partially mediated through a reduction in abdominal AT.

Inverse association between physical inactivity and mental health in men and women

Article Abstract:

The associations between measures of physical activity and mental health are evaluated in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) in a large and well-characterized population of men and women. Relative increases in maximal cardiorespiratory (CR) fitness and habitual physical activity are cross-sectionally associated with lower depressive symptomatology and greater emotional well-being.

Longitudinal changes in cardiorespiratory fitness: measurement error or true change?

Article Abstract:

The research that reported Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) fatality decrease related to enhanced cardio respiratory fitness were due to measurement error of serial treadmill test is further examined. The results indicate that the differences in ACLS tests were not just due to measurement error but also as a result of the regular variation that is linked with changes in life style.
