Change in Submaximal Cardiorespiratory Fitness and All-Cause Mortality.
Louise de Lannoy,Xuemei Sui,Carl J. Lavie,Steven N. Blair,Robert Ross +4 more
- 01 Feb 2018
TL;DR: A simple 5‐minute submaximal test of CRF identified that adults who maintained or improved s CRF were less likely to die from all causes during follow‐up than were adults whose sCRF decreased.
Effect of Physical Activity versus Health Education on Physical Function, Grip Strength and Mobility.
Adam J. Santanasto,Nancy W. Glynn,Laura C. Lovato,Steven N. Blair,Roger A. Fielding,Thomas M. Gill,Jack M. Guralnik,Fang-Chi Hsu,Abby C. King,Elsa S. Strotmeyer,Todd M. Manini,Anthony P. Marsh,Mary M. McDermott,Bret H. Goodpaster,Marco Pahor,Anne B. Newman +15 more
TL;DR: Physical activity reduces the rate of mobility disability, compared with health education, in at risk older adults and it is important to understand aspects of performance contributing to this benefit.
Energy Intake Derived from an Energy Balance Equation, Validated Activity Monitors, and Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry Can Provide Acceptable Caloric Intake Data among Young Adults.
Robin P. Shook,Gregory A Hand,Daniel P. O'Connor,Diana M. Thomas,Thomas G. Hurley,James R. Hébert,Clemens Drenowatz,Gregory J. Welk,Alicia L. Carriquiry,Steven N. Blair +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that estimates of EI based on the energy balance equation can provide reasonable estimates of group mean EI in young adults and suggest that, when EE derived fromDLW is not feasible, an activity monitor that provides a valid estimate of EE can be substituted for EE from DLW.
Factors related to coronary heart disease risk among men: validation of the Framingham Risk Score.
TL;DR: This is the first report of a large, single-center cohort study to validate the Framingham Risk Score by using extensive laboratory and clinical measurements and shows the FRS significantly predicts CHD events in the ACLS cohort.
Decline in Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Odds of Incident Depression
Rodney K. Dishman,Xuemei Sui,Timothy S. Church,Gregory A. Hand,Madhukar H. Trivedi,Steven N. Blair +5 more
TL;DR: Maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness during late middle age, when decline in fitness typically accelerates, helps protect against the onset of depression complaints made to a physician.
