Why the study?
To investigate associations of movement behaviors including moderate-vigorous physical activity, light physical activity, and stationary time with parameters measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing using compositional data analysis.

Cross-Sectional (n=1,396)
Does moderate-to-vigorous physical activity improve cardiorespiratory fitness parameters in adults?
p-value: p=<0.01
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is positively associated with cardiorespiratory fitness parameters, while stationary time has an inverse effect, reinforcing the importance of promoting physical activity.
BACKGROUND: We investigated associations of movement behaviors (moderate-vigorous physical activity, light physical activity, and stationary time) with various parameters measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We applied compositional data analysis to account for the relative contributions of different movement behaviors to the overall time budget of the waking day. METHODS: pulse or HRmax, individuals using beta blockers were excluded. RESULTS: pulse in females (p values < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (positive) and stationary time (inverse) influence parameters derived during cardiopulmonary exercise testing irrespective of age, smoking, and living in a relationship. The sex specific effects were rather small. Hence, promoting physical activity should be encouraged to increase cardiorespiratory fitness.
