Abstract
This compilation of systematic reviews and meta-analyses underscores the profound and diverse benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) across human health. Higher CRF is strongly associated with reduced all-cause mortality, improved cognitive function, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It promotes beneficial brain structural changes and mitigates depression risk in younger adults. Furthermore, CRF enhances prognosis in coronary artery disease patients and improves outcomes for those with chronic kidney disease and even COVID-19 severity. Maintaining and improving CRF through physical activity, including interventions like HIIT, is a crucial strategy for comprehensive disease prevention and health promotion across all populations.
