Cardiorespiratory Fitness Decreases High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Improves Parameters of Metabolic Syndrome

To evaluate the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), expressed as maximal oxygen uptake (ml.kg .min ), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation. The relationship between CRF, MetS, and hs-CRP was examined in a coh...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), expressed as maximal oxygen uptake (ml.kg .min ), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation. The relationship between CRF, MetS, and hs-CRP was examined in a cohort of 173 men and women. CRF was evaluated using a Bruce protocol treadmill test and measured as estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO max). Participants' physical activity status was self-reported. Plasma hs-CRP levels were measured using a standardized immunoassay, and the diagnostic criteria for MetS were based on guidelines established by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). An inverse association was observed between hs-CRP levels and estimated VO max (p
