• Increasing research suggests that increased cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can largely attenuate the negative health risks associated with obesity. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Sixty women (aged 18-50) with obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 and/or waist circumference ≥ 88 cm) who are physically inactive, have no unstable health conditions and are safe to exercise will be recruited from September 2021 to December 2022. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The authors summarize the pathophysiological changes associated with obesity, which lead to the development of CVD, recommendations for interventions such as diet, increased physical activity, and weight loss according to current literature and guidelines, and the critical importance of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

  • The interaction of cardiorespiratory fitness with obesity and the obesity paradox in cardiovascular disease. (casestudyhelp.pro)
  • The intervention program proved to be efficient in reducing waist circumference, HOMA-IR and uric acid levels of overweight adolescents. (bvsalud.org)
  • Overweight youth are more susceptible to metabolic disorders, since the accumulation of body fat, especially in the abdominal region, generates an increase in fatty acids circulating in the bloodstream, which consequently impairs insulin signaling and leads to a reduction in sensitivity of receptors and tissue response to cellular actions that are mediated by this hormone 1,3,4 . (bvsalud.org)
  • McGavock et al demonstrated that low cardiorespiratory fitness and reductions in fitness over time are significantly associated with weight gain and the risk of being overweight in children aged 6-15 years. (medscape.com)
  • The 12-month risk of overweight classification was 3.5-fold higher in youth with low cardiorespiratory fitness, relative to fit peers. (medscape.com)
  • whilst secondary outcomes will include cardiorespiratory fitness ( \( \dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_{2\mathrm{peak}} \) ), body composition, quality of life and select cytokines, myokines and inflammatory markers. (biomedcentral.com)
  • we used reduction in heart rate as the measure of improved aerobic fitness. (cdc.gov)
  • [ 4 ] Analysis on a cohort of 902 schoolchildren showed higher waist circumference and disproportionate weight gain over a 12-month follow-up period in those children with low cardiorespiratory fitness. (medscape.com)
  • [ 4 ] Reductions in cardiorespiratory fitness were significantly and independently associated with increasing BMI. (medscape.com)
  • Low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness have also been associated with elevated depressive symptoms in obese adolescents. (medscape.com)
  • From a total of 45 studies included, 25 report a positive association between components of PF with AP and 20 describe a single association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and AP. (bvsalud.org)
  • The BMI is a continuous, although imperfect, measure of body fatness. (medscape.com)
  • Standard body mass index categories were cross-classified with sample tertiles of device-measured total, light-to-vigorous and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary time. (bmj.com)
  • However, these diagnostic methods do not differentiate between subcutaneous and intra-abdominal or visceral fat. (intechopen.com)
  • RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -PAEE was measured objectively by individually calibrated heart rate against energy expenditure. (diabetesjournals.org)
  • This association was stronger when excluding the adiposity component from the metabolic syndrome (standardized β = −0.0011, P = 0.035). (diabetesjournals.org)
