Maximum Oxygen Uptake Linked To Health Risks
A new study indicates that adults with higher midlife cardiorespiratory fitness live longer and develop fewer chronic diseases. The findings suggest these individuals also spend more years free from serious illness. Experts noted that regular physical activity is the primary method to improve cardiorespiratory fitness. An expert told Healthline that these findings align with decades of research identifying cardiorespiratory fitness as a strong marker for long-term health. Cardiorespiratory fitness measures how effectively the heart and lungs supply oxygen during physical activity.
