Key result
Cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely associated with resting heart rate in boys (β = -0.11; 95% CI -0.14 to -0.08) and girls (β = -0.09; 95% CI -0.12 to -0.06).
Why the study?
Is resting heart rate associated with health-related physical fitness components in adolescents?
Cross-Sectional (n=695)
No
Is resting heart rate associated with health-related physical fitness components in adolescents?
Effect estimate: β = -0.11 (95% CI -0.14, -0.08)
Resting heart rate is inversely associated with cardiorespiratory fitness and directly associated with body fat in adolescents, suggesting it could serve as a simple marker for health surveillance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Associations between fitness and RHR in adolescents are hypothesis-generating; leaves open causality and need for longitudinal trials.
Silva et al. (2018) reported a cross-sectional. Health-related physical fitness components (aerobic fitness, muscle strength, flexibility, and body fat) was evaluated on Resting heart rate (β = -0.11, 95% CI -0.14, -0.08). Cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely associated with resting heart rate in boys (β = -0.11; 95% CI -0.14 to -0.08) and girls (β = -0.09; 95% CI -0.12 to -0.06).
