Key result
Cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly correlated with Baecke sport score (r=0.536, P<0.001) and cardiac autonomic function (r=0.462, P=0.035), but not with resting BDNF concentrations.
Cross-Sectional (n=44)
Effect estimate: r = 0.536
p-value: p=0.000
In healthy adults, cardiorespiratory fitness is significantly correlated with sports participation and cardiac autonomic function, but not with resting serum BDNF concentrations.

Supports fitness links to sports participation and autonomic function in healthy adults; leaves open BDNF role pending longitudinal studies.
Ramsbottom et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=44). Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity was evaluated on Correlation between cardiorespiratory fitness and Baecke sport score (r = 0.536, p=0.000). Cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly correlated with Baecke sport score (r=0.536, P<0.001) and cardiac autonomic function (r=0.462, P=0.035), but not with resting BDNF concentrations.
