Abstract

Physically active individuals generally show a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to the sedentary population. However, whether such reduction in CHD risk mainly results from the concomitant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness or from the alterations in CHD risk factors has yet to be clearly established. Furthermore, there is still some controversy regarding the potential associations between endurance training-induced changes in metabolic variables considered as CHD risk factors (plasma glucose, insulin and lipoprotein levels) and the magnitude of improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness. From the results of several studies discussed in this article, it is proposed that prolonged endurance exercise of low intensity (approximately 50% VO2max), performed on an almost daily basis, seems to significantly improve metabolic variables considered as CHD risk factors through mechanisms that are likely to be independent from the training-related changes in cardiorespiratory fitness. The notion of 'metabolic fitness' is introduced and can be defined as the state of a ste of metabolic variables relevant to CHD risk and affected by the level of physical activity. Evidence available suggests that these metabolic variables are not closely related to the adaptation of cardiorespiratory fitness in response to exercise training. The concept of metabolic fitness has several implications for the prescription of exercise and for the primary and secondary prevention of CHD…

  • Regular endurance exercise training has been shown to mobilize body fat, assist with weight loss, and alter body composition such as reducing abdominal adipose tissue in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

    “Regular endurance exercise training has been shown to mobilize body fat, assist with weight loss, and alter body composition such as reducing abdominal adipose tissue in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, all of which may lead to improvements in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism (61,101).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
