Correlates of Aerobic Performance in Adolescents and Adults.

ABSTRACT: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is considered as a main indicator of cardiovascular health and is associated with a reduced risk of noncommunicable diseases. The objective is to explore the potential behavioral, interpersonal, socioeconomic, and anthropometric factors associated with a submaximal measure for CRF among adolescents and adults in Germany. Data were drawn from a population-based nationwide cross-sectional study, involving 2886 male and 3034 female participants aged 14-64 who were part of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey (2008-2011) and the Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (2014-2017). Participants completed a submaximal cycle ergometer test to determine the relative power at the individual anaerobic lactate threshold (pLT₂) (W/kg). M
