Background Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with cardiovascular disease risk
factors. Aim To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between …

The objective of the present systematic review was to investigate whether physical fitness in
childhood and adolescence is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors …

The proximate mechanisms by which physical activity (PA) slows senescence and
decreases morbidity and mortality have been extensively documented. However, we lack an …

Over the last fifty years, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been firmly established as an
important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Mounting …

The current state of physical inactivity of people can be traced back to the people who have
been denied their fundamental human right to physical education and participation in school …

This review discusses sexual dimorphism in arterial stiffening, disease pathology
interactions, and the influence of sex on mechanisms and pathways. Arterial stiffness …

Background Physical activity is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk, mainly
through effects on atherosclerosis. Aortic stiffness may be an alternative mechanism. We …

With rapid urbanization, built environment has emerged as a set of modifiable factors of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize …

Habitual moderate-to-vigorous–intensity physical activity attenuates arterial stiffening.
However, it is unclear whether light physical activity also attenuates arterial stiffening. It is …

Background The mechanisms that link the metabolic syndrome to increased cardiovascular
risk are incompletely understood, especially in young people. We therefore examined …
