Genomic predictors of the maximal O2 uptake response to standardized exercise training programs

TLDR
These genomic predictors of the response of Vo(2max) to regular exercise provide new targets for the study of the biology of fitness and its adaptation to regular Exercise.
Abstract
Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a powerful predictor of morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. In 473 sedentary adults, all whites, from 99 families of the Health, Risk Factors, Exercise Training...

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

Do “Brain-Training” Programs Work?:

TL;DR: Extensive evidence that brain-training interventions improve performance on the trained tasks, less evidence that such interventions improved performance on closely related tasks, and little evidence that training enhances performance on distantly related tasks or that training improves everyday cognitive performance are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedentary Behavior, Exercise, and Cardiovascular Health.

TL;DR: The prognostic utility of cardiorespiratory fitness compared with obesity and the metabolic syndrome is reviewed, as well as the increase of physical activity /ET for patients with heart failure as a therapeutic strategy, and ET dosing.

Regulation of Increased Blood Flow (Hyperemia) to Muscles During Exercise: A Hierarchy of Competing Physiological Needs

TL;DR: The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscle links oxygen in the atmosphere with the contracting muscles where it is consumed in order to link oxygen with the muscle, and the vasodilating factors in the muscle are responsible for these very high flows.

Exercise Capacity and Mortality in Older Men A 20-Year Follow-Up Study

TL;DR: Exercise capacity is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in older men, with most survival benefits achieved in those with an exercise capacity >5 METs, and survival improved significantly when unfit individuals became fit.

Genomic scan for maximal oxygen uptake and its response to training in the HERITAGE Family Study.

TL;DR: Results indicate that linkages at P values of 0.01 and better are observed with markers on 4q, 8q, 11p, and 14q for VO(2 max) before training and with markers for the change in VO( 2 max) in response to a 20-wk standardized endurance training program.

Sensitivity of maximal aerobic power to training is genotype-dependent.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there are considerable individual differences in the adaptive capacity to short-term endurance training, and sensitivity of maximal aerobic power to such training is largely genotype-dependent.
