Meta Description: Physical activity and fitness are well established as numerous studies. Since risk factors often track from adolescence into adulthood, information detailing the relation between weight status and physical fitness is potentially relevant to the implementation of preventive measures and effective intervention strategies.
Physical activity and fitness are well established as numerous studies. Cardio respiratory fitness in childhood is often associated with an improved cardiovascular profile in both childhood and adulthood. Physical fitness is reducing the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes in adulthood.
Poor physical fitness is a more powerful predictor for poor health conditions and poor physical activity. Unfortunately there is a lack of evidence which has documented the relation between physical fitness and weight status. Since risk factors often track from adolescence into adulthood, information detailing the relation between weight status and physical fitness is potentially relevant to the implementation of preventive measures and effective intervention strategies.
