Age, physical activity, physical fitness, body composition, and incidence of orthopedic problems.
C. A. Macera,Kirby L. Jackson,Gerald W. Hagenmaier,Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld,Harold W. Kohl,Steven N. Blair +5 more
TL;DR: The absence of any age effect on the occurrence of problems suggests that with regard to orthopedic problems, moderate amounts of physical activity in generally healthy persons may be recommended without special consideration as to age.
Associations between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Health-Related Quality of Life
TL;DR: Among males in the United States Navy relativeHigher levels of CRF are associated with higher levels of HRQOL, and the age-standardized prevalence of above the norm scores was lowest in the referent CRF quartile, PCS 56.6% and MCS 45.1%.

Andrew S. Jackson,Steven N. Blair,Matthew T. Mahar,Larry T. Wier,Robert M. Ross,J. E. Stuteville +5 more
TL;DR: The N-Ex models were more accurate than what was obtained from VO2peak estimated from the Astrand prediction models and were confirmed when applied to the cross-validation sample.
