Why the study?
The specific fitness parameters needed to maintain high-quality CPR and the impact of rescuer fitness during realistic extended-duration CPR with two-minute compressor rotations remained uncertain.
Do different measures of physical fitness predict high quality CPR performance when rescuers follow current CPR guidelines?

Fitness may support CPR quality in 2-min rotations; leaves open which parameters warrant targeted training.
Do different measures of physical fitness predict high quality CPR performance when rescuers follow current CPR guidelines?
Higher anaerobic fitness and muscular strength in rescuers predict better CPR quality, including compression depth and overall CPR Quality Score.
