“…[ 15 ] Theoretically, most of the oxygen uptake result in energy production, and using estimated power output for a run field test to evaluate VO 2 max is practical for healthy individuals. [ 16 ] As far as we know, most prior studies were performed for the VO 2 max correlation in aerobic running exercises, yet no studies assessed the correlation in muscular endurance tests. Regular resistance exercise training has been found to augment the intrinsic function and respiratory capacity of skeletal muscle mitochondria, [ 17 ] and thus could increase CRF levels.…”

The American Heart Association recommends a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and some alternative exercise tests to evaluate maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) of youth. Power output has shown a high correlation with VO2 max on a CPET. However, the correlations between mean power output (MPO) for muscular endurance exercises and VO2 max measured from a CPET are not established in young adults. Forty-five volunteers, with an average age of 29.93 ± 7.05 years, from a sample of 1120 military personnel in Taiwan who attended a 2-minute pushup test and a 2-minute sit-up test were included in the current study. These volunteers subsequently underwent a CPET using the Bruce protocol to assess VO2 max. According to the physics rule, MPO (watts) for the muscular endurance test was defined as a product of moving distance and force: [1/5 × body height (m) × numbers performed × body mass (kg) × gravity (9.8 m/s2)]. Pearson correlation analyses were performed. For the 2-min pushups, the correlations (r) between pushup numbers and VO2 max with and without body mass adjustment were 0.541 (P < .01) and 0.188 (P = .21), respectively, while the correlation (r) between MPO and VO2 max with and without body mass adjustment were 0.410 and 0.557 (both P < .01), respectively. For the 2-minute sit-ups, the correlations (r) between sit-up numbers and VO2 max with and without body mass adjustment were 0.529 (P < .01) and 0.291 (P = .052), respectively, while the correlations (r) between MPO and VO2 max with and without body mass adjustment were 0.318 (P = .03) and 0.705 (P < .01), respectively. In military young adults, MPO for both the 2-minute sit-up and the 2-minute pushup tests could be used as alternative field-based methods to estimate VO2 max.

“…Specifically, in patients with abdominal obesity and a high WHtR, the increase in intra-abdominal pressure due to chest expansion and diaphragm descent during inspiration may contribute to a decrease in CRF ( 30 ). Furthermore, a recent study has demonstrated that WHtR and waist circumference (WC) are more strongly associated with VO 2 max than BMI ( 31 ). Notably, it has been also suggested that the obesity paradox may be more pronounced in HF patients with low CRF ( 32 ).…”

BackgroundInsufficient data exists regarding the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the prognosis of chronic heart failure (CHF) specifically within low- and middle-income Asian countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of BMI on adverse outcomes of ambulatory patients with CHF in Vietnam.MethodsBetween 2018 and 2020, we prospectively enrolled consecutive outpatients with clinically stable CHF in an observational cohort, single-center study. The participants were stratified according to Asian-specific BMI thresholds. The relationships between BMI and adverse outcomes (all-cause death and all-cause hospitalization) were analyzed by Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Cox proportional-hazards model.ResultsAmong 320 participants (age 63.5 ± 13.3 years, 57.9% male), the median BMI was 21.4 kg/m2 (IQR 19.5–23.6), and 10.9% were underweight (BMI <18.50 kg/m2). Over a median follow-up time of 32 months, the cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality and hospitalization were 5.6% and 19.1%, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, underweight patients had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality than patients with normal BMI (adjusted hazard ratios = 3.03 [95% CI: 1.07–8.55]). Lower BMI remained significantly associated with a worse prognosis when analyzed as a continuous variable (adjusted hazard ratios = 1.27 [95% CI: 1.03–1.55] per 1 kg/m2 decrease for all-cause mortality). However, BMI was not found to be significantly associated with the risk of all-cause hospitalization (p > 0.05).ConclusionIn ambulatory patients with CHF in Vietnam, lower BMI, especially underweight status (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. These findings suggest that BMI should be considered for use in risk classification, and underweight patients should be managed by a team consisting of cardiologists, nutritionists, and geriatricians.

BackgroundCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) could reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) while the association between muscular endurance capacity (MEC) and incident MetS has rarely been investigated in young adults.MethodsA total of 2890 military men and women, aged 18–39 years, free of baseline MetS in Taiwan, were followed for incident MetS from baseline (2014) until the end of 2020. All subjects received annual health examinations for assessment of MetS. Physical fitness was assessed by CRF (estimated maximal oxygen uptake, VO2 max [mL/kg/min], in a 3000‐m run) and MEC (numbers of 2‐min push‐ups). MetS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Multiple Cox regression analysis was conducted with adjustments for baseline age, sex, substance use status and physical activity to determine the associations of CRF and MEC with incidences of new‐onset MetS and related features, for example, central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and prediabetes or diabetes. To examine the combined effects of CRF and MEC status on incidence of MetS, high and low levels of CRF and MEC were separately defined by over and under the sex‐specific median in each exercise test.ResultsDuring a median follow‐up of 5.8 years, there were 673 (23.3%) new‐onset MetS. Higher CRF was associated with a lower incidence of MetS (hazard ratio [HR] and 95% confidence interval: 0.905 [0.877–0.933]), and its components separately, except hypertension. No association was observed between MEC and incident MetS, and its components separately, except hypertension. When evaluating the combined effects of MEC and CRF status on the incidence of MetS, it was observed that compared with the low CRF/low MEC, the high CRF/high MEC (HR: 0.553 [0.439–0.697]) and the high CRF/low MEC (HR: 0.730 [0.580–0.918]) had a lower incidence of new‐onset MetS (P value for the intergroup difference = 0.04). There was no significant result for the low CRF/high MEC.ConclusionsThis study highlights that although the protective effects of MEC to reduce the incidence of MetS and most of its related features were mainly driven by CRF in young adults, there was an addictive effect of greater MEC on CRF to prevent the development of new‐onset MetS before midlife.
