Associations of Aerobic Fitness and Maximal Muscular Strength With Metabolites in Young Men.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

High physical fitness is associated with a reduction in risk of cardiovascular diseases and death, but the underlying mechanisms are insufficiently understood.

Objective

To determine how aerobic fitness and muscular strength are associated with serum metabolome measures.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study included Finnish men receiving military refresher training from May 5, 2015, to November 28, 2015, representing partly overlapping groups of individuals with the lowest vs highest aerobic fitness and the lowest vs highest muscular strength. Data analyses were conducted from January 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019.

Main outcomes and measures

The associations of aerobic fitness (determined with maximum oxygen consumption in millilit
