Correlates and Determinants of Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Adults: a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enhanced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is now a well-established predictor of numerous adverse health outcomes. Knowledge about the pathways leading to enhanced CRF is essential for developing appropriate interventions.
