cardio fitness and training
keep fit for a healthy heart
Cardio-respiratory fitness in early adulthood significantly
decreases the chance of developing high blood pressure and diabetes — both major
risk factors for heart disease and stroke — in middle age, according to a new
study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part
of the National Institutes of Health.
Further, improving fitness in healthy young adults can cut by as much as 50 percent the risk for diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.
The research is the first, large observational study to look at
the role of fitness on healthy young adults’ development of risk factors for
heart disease. Prior studies had examined the relationship between fitness and
death from heart disease and stroke. |

Its findings appear in the December 17, 2003,
issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was done
by researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago, Nemours Cardiac Center
in Wilmington, DE, the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland,
CA, the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis, MN,
and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “Given the epidemic of obesity in the United States and the decline in people’s physical activity, it’s important that Americans take steps to improve their physical fitness,” cautioned Dr. Mercedes Carnethon, Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago. |
“If all the young adults in our study had been fit, there would have
been nearly a third fewer cases of high blood pressure, diabetes, and
metabolic syndrome."
Heart disease and stroke are the first and third leading causes of death for
Americans. Nearly 13 million Americans have heart disease and nearly 5
million have had a stroke.
