Introduction
A level of muscle & cardiovascular function that results in increased energy reserves, enhanced performance & well being.
Notes
- physical fitness associated with diminished mortality regardless of body mass index (BMI)
- physical fitness in midlife associated with reduced risk of lung cancer & colorectal cancer after age 65 (RR=0.5)[3]
- moderate & high cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a lower risk of colon cancer[4]
- high cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower risk of death due to lung cancer[4]
- low, moderate, & high CRF are associated with lower risk of death due to prostate cancer[4]
- physical fitness in midlife is not associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer
