Does not support practice change; leaves open whether fitness interventions improve cardiometabolic outcomes in young men.
Is maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) associated with physical activity, blood pressure, and serum lipids in healthy 30-year-old males?
Higher estimated VO2max is significantly associated with a more favorable cardiovascular risk profile, including lower systolic blood pressure and better lipid parameters, in healthy young men.
Kishida et al. (1997) studied this question.
