Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise capacity and mortality among men referred for exercise testing.

TL;DR: Exercise capacity is known to be an important prognostic factor in patients with cardiovascular disease, but it is uncertain whether it predicts mortality equally well among healthy persons and there is also uncertainty regarding the predictive power of exercise capacity relative to other clinical and exercise-test variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of Assessing Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Clinical Practice: A Case for Fitness as a Clinical Vital Sign: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

TL;DR: The addition of CRF for risk classification presents health professionals with unique opportunities to improve patient management and to encourage lifestyle-based strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk to meet the American Heart Association’s 2020 goals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disentangling the importance of ecological niches from stochastic processes across scales

TL;DR: A framework for disentangling the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes in generating site-to-site variation in species composition along ecological gradients and among biogeographic regions that differ in the size of the regional species pool is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical Activity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness as Major Markers of Cardiovascular Risk: Their Independent and Interwoven Importance to Health Status

TL;DR: The evidence supporting the premise that PA and CRF are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as the interplay between both PA andCRF and other CVD risk factors are discussed, with a particular focus on the inter play between CRF, metabolic risk and obesity.
