Cardiorespiratory Fitness Reduced With Prolonged ADT in Prostate Cancer

Increased cardiovascular mortality also seen with prolonged androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer

For patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Outcomes After A-Fib Ablation

Arrhythmia recurrence rate, mortality significantly lower in those with higher cardiorespiratory fitness
Cardiorespiratory fitness improves mortality risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Aids Mortality Prediction

Cardiorespiratory fitness even more predictive when combined with traditional risk factors
Higher birth weight for births at-term are associated with greater cardiorespiratory fitness in young adulthood regardless of body mass index

Higher Birth Weight May Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness Later

Findings seen in large cohort of men born at-term, regardless of body mass index, in young adulthood
Cardiorespiratory fitness is positively associated with gray matter volume and total brain volume and with gray matter volume in specific brain areas

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Gray Matter Volume

Strong association found for VO2peak with GM volume of left middle temporal gyrus, right hippocampal gyrus
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a lower risk for lung cancer incidence in former smokers and a reduced risk for cancer mortality in current smokers diagnosed with lung cancer

Cardiorespiratory Fitness May Improve Lung Cancer Outcomes

In fit men, mortality lower in smokers with lung cancer, lung cancer risk lower in former smokers

T2DM Risk Reduced by 75 Percent With Healthiest Lifestyle

Risk for all-cause, CVD, cancer mortality lower with healthiest lifestyle for those with type 2 diabetes
Consistency in timing of workouts may help sustain high physical activity levels among adults successfully maintaining weight loss

Consistent Time of Day Aids Workout Habit

Findings seen for adults who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
Midlife cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a reduced long-term risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD death

Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Risk for COPD

Risk for incident COPD, death from COPD lower for those with normal, high CRF versus low CRF
