“…Maximal treadmill time (min) was the indicator of ®tness in the analysis. Treadmill time using this protocol is highly correlated with measured maximal aerobic capacity (VO 2max ) in men (r 0.92) 14 and women (r 0.94), 15 which is the most widely accepted indicator of cardiorespiratory ®tness.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine the longitudinal relation of change in cardiopulmonary ®tness to subsequent change in body weight in a cohort of healthy middle-aged adults. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Participants were 4599 men and 724 women (43 AE 9 y) receiving at least three medical examinations between 1970 and 1994. Examinations included assessment of cardiorespiratory ®tness by maximal exercise tests and measurement of body weight. MEASUREMENTS: Change in ®tness was calculated as the difference in maximal treadmill time between the ®rst and second examination (mean interval, 1.8 y). Weight change was calculated as the difference in body weight between the ®rst and last examination (mean follow-up, 7.5 y). RESULTS: There was a small, yet statistically signi®cant weight gain over the follow-up (0.61 AE 5.29 kg for men and 1.51 AE 4.67 kg for women; P ( 0.001). Estimates from the multiple linear regression modeling show that each 1 min improvement in treadmill time, signi®cantly attenuated weight gain in both men (b 70.60; P ( 0.001) and women (b 70.60; P ( 0.001), respectively. Moreover, each 1 min improvement in treadmill time, reduced the odds of a !5 kg gain by 14% in men (odds ratios (OR)) 0.86; 95% con®dence interval (CI): 0.83-0.89) and by 9% in women (OR 0.91; 95%CI:0.83-1.00) and the odds of a !10 kg gain by 21% in both men (OR 0.79;95% CI:0.75-0.84) and women (OR 0.79;95%CI:0.67-0.93) CONCLUSIONS: Improvements in ®tness, appear important in attenuating age-related weight gain in healthy middleaged adults. Thus, an active life-style should be promoted early and maintained through adulthood to prevent substantial weight gain and obesity with age.

Background: Cardiovascular endurance tests are considered as one of the best methods for assessment of the individual's health. Reduced aerobic fitness is seen in overweight and obese. Aerobic fitness is also reduced in centrally obese individual. However, very less scientific documentation available on the effect of visceral fat on aerobic fitness in Indian adolescents. Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to check the effect of visceral fat on aerobic fitness in Indian adolescents of 18-19 years of age group. Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted on 120 healthy, non-athletes' Indian adolescents (60 males and 60 females) of 18-19 years of age group after their voluntary written consent. Visceral fat was recorded by bioelectrical impedance technique using Omron HBF-302 body fat analyzer. All volunteers were categorized into two groups on the basis of their visceral fat. Volunteers with visceral fat 0-9 were categorized as a normal visceral fat group, and volunteers with visceral fat ≥10 were categorized as a high visceral fat group. Estimation of VO 2 max was done by treadmill exercise test following the standard Bruce protocol. Results: In high visceral fat Indian adolescents, VO 2 max by treadmill exercise test was significantly less as compared to the normal visceral fat group. In normal visceral fat male adolescents (n = 30), VO 2 max was 49.29 ± 7.81 ml/kg/min, and in high visceral fat male adolescents (n = 30), VO 2 max was 33.94 ± 6.75 ml/kg/min. (P < 0.001). Similarly, in normal visceral fat female Indian adolescents, VO 2 max was 47.85 ± 7.10 ml/kg/min, whereas in high visceral fat female adolescents (n = 30), VO 2 max was 29.68 ± 7.79 ml/kg/min. (P < 0.001). Conclusion: VO 2 max was significantly less in high visceral fat adolescents compared to normal visceral fat adolescents. Increased visceral fat is associated with reduced aerobic fitness in Indian adolescents.

“…Those who reported no exercise-related physical activities within the previous 3 months were classified as inactive; participants reporting either 20 Univariate statistics (means and frequencies) were generated for all study variables among the 3 relative levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. More than 25% of the study population reported engaging in multiple activities, which attenuated the amount of time spent in any one activity.…”

analyzed cross-sectional data from a large sample of the Aerobic Center Longitudinal Study cohort on whom extensive physical activity information and objective cardiorespiratory data were collected. The purpose of this report is to describe the physical activity pattems that are associated with levels of low, moderate, and high cardiorespiratory fitness in men and women, in order to develop and substantiate meaningful physical activity recommendations that are empirically derived and related to significant reductions in mortality risk. Methods SubjectsStudy participants were 13 444 men and 3972 women, ranging in age from 20 to 87 years, who underwent at least 1 comprehensive preventive medical examination at the
