Abstract

Over the past three decades numerous studies have illustrated the inverse relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and mortality. However, this relationship has almost exclusively been studied using estimated CRF (CRFe), with known error of ± 3 to 7 ml/kg/min, with no studies assessing this association using directly measured CRF in both men and women that were apparently healthy at baseline testing.
