Relationship between exercise capacity and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein in middle-aged and older individuals.

TL;DR: Urinary L-FABP levels were inversely correlated with both peak oxygen consumption and grip strength in middle-aged and older individuals without chronic kidney disease, providing a novel insight into the underlying mechanism linking the decline in exercise capacity to the development of renal dysfunction.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness as a Quantitative Predictor of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Healthy Men and Women: A Meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.
