In this review, we argue that several key features of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
should underpin discussions about the biological and reductionist determinants of its …

Objectives To examine the effects of different protocols of high-intensity interval training
(HIIT) on VO 2 max improvements in healthy, overweight/obese and athletic adults, based …

Aims We investigated whether sprint interval training (SIT) was a time-efficient exercise
strategy to improve insulin sensitivity and other indices of cardiometabolic health to the …

Tissue trauma, physical inactivity, quasi-starvation and psychological distress represent
major stresses to the body. In turn, immediate systemic changes are initiated, resulting in …

The risk associated with multiple cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause
mortality is decreased in individuals who meet the current recommendations for physical …

Background Physical activity is associated with a lower incidence of common mental health
disorder, but less is known about the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Methods In …

Aging is associated with significant changes in both cardiac and vascular structure and
function that lower the threshold for clinical signs and symptoms, making older people more …
