Aerobic fitness is inversely associated with resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity in younger males (<50 yr) and older females (≥50 yr), but not in younger females or older males.
Does the relationship between aerobic fitness and resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity vary by sex and age in healthy adults?
The association between aerobic fitness and resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity is highly dependent on both age and sex, highlighting the need for demographic-specific approaches in autonomic research.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Our data reveal for the first time that associations between aerobic fitness and resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity are sex and age specific; inverse relationships are evident in younger males (<50 yr) and older females (≥50 yr), but absent in younger females (<50 yr) and older males (≥50 yr).
