The Clinical and Nonclinical Values of Nonexercise Estimation of Cardiovascular Endurance in Young Asymptomatic Individuals
Key result
Estimated cardiovascular endurance using a nonexercise model correlated with physical fitness (r=0.4-0.5), obesity (r=0.2-0.7), circulation (r=0.2-0.3), and blood profile (r=0.2-0.5).
Why the study?
Does a nonexercise model for estimating cardiovascular endurance correlate with physical fitness, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk factors in young asymptomatic adults?
Population
188 asymptomatic young adults (18-40 years)

Alomari et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Asymptomatic (n=188). Nonexercise model (NM) estimation of cardiovascular endurance vs. High, average, and low estimated cardiovascular endurance groups was evaluated on Correlation with measures of obesity, physical fitness, blood glucose and lipid, and circulation (p=<0.05). Estimated cardiovascular endurance using a nonexercise model correlated with physical fitness (r=0.4-0.5), obesity (r=0.2-0.7), circulation (r=0.2-0.3), and blood profile (r=0.2-0.5).
