Key result
Increasing physical activity from low to high was associated with a 5.2 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) higher peak oxygen uptake in men at 23 years compared to remaining inactive (95% CI 3.1-7.3).
Why the study?
Does a high level of physical activity improve long-term peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in healthy adults?
Cohort (n=1,843)
Does a high level of physical activity improve long-term peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in healthy adults?
Mean Difference: 5.2 (95% CI 3.1–7.3)
p-value: p=< 0.001
High physical activity at baseline and increasing physical activity over time are strongly associated with higher cardiorespiratory fitness 23 years later.

May support activity counseling for fitness; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs to confirm causality.
Aspenes et al. (2011) reported a cohort. Physical activity vs. Inactive or low physical activity was evaluated on Peak oxygen uptake (VO(2peak)) at follow-up (MD 5.2 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1), 95% CI 3.1-7.3, p=< 0.001). Increasing physical activity from low to high was associated with a 5.2 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) higher peak oxygen uptake in men at 23 years compared to remaining inactive (95% CI 3.1-7.3).
