Anatomical context of Physical Fitness

  • RESULTS: Total (leisure and occupational) physical activity and physical fitness were significantly associated with fasting insulin concentrations after adjusting for age, BMI or percent body fat, waist circumference, and fasting glucose concentration in men but not in women [14].
  • METHODS: Physical fitness (duration of a graded treadmill test), Apo E phenotype, plasma LDL-C and HDL-C, and covariates were measured at baseline and seven years later in a bi-racial cohort of young adults, aged 18-30 years at baseline in 1985-86, from the Coronary Artery Risk Development In Young Adults (CARDIA) study [24].
  • This enhancement of AHH activity in HPL appears to be strongly correlated with enhanced lymphocyte count as well as induced metabolic and exercise stress but not with the intrinsic physical fitness of individuals [25].
  • CONCLUSION: Hip flexors can compensate for fatigued abdominal muscles, causing sit-ups to be performed unsafely, yet are still counted as correct according to Army Physical Fitness Test standards [26].
 

Associations of Physical Fitness with chemical compounds

  • Despite evidence for a strikingly higher level of physical fitness and a lower level of risk factors in the trained group, no significant difference in mean serum estradiol level was found [27].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Autonomic dysfunction, in combination with poor physical fitness, may be a mechanism associated with early glucose dysmetabolism and the development of diabetes [28].
  • Factor analytic derivation of the MHPG/NM ratio: implications for studying the link between physical fitness and depression [29].
  • Maternal family history and combined maternal and paternal family history predisposed to future type 2 diabetes both in univariate Cox analysis and in multivariate Cox regression analysis after adjusting for glucose disappearance rate (Rd) during an IVGTT, FBG level, BMI, physical fitness, triglyceride level, and age [30].
  • In all equations abdominal adiposity and physical fitness, rather than age, contributed significantly to predict changes in arginine stimulated GH secretion [21].
 

Gene context of Physical Fitness

  • On the other hand, the postheparin plasma hepatic lipase activity showed a significant negative correlation to physical fitness (r = -0.57, P less than 0.01) [31].
  • No relationship was found between physical fitness and LPL activity or between HDL3 and fitness [31].
  • Effects of exercise and physical fitness on the pituitary-thyroid axis and on prolactin secretion in male runners [32].
  • The effects of acute exercise and thyrotropin-releasing hormone on the pituitary-thyroid axis were examined in men placed into three well-defined categories of physical fitness [32].
  • We examined the relationship between physical fitness and circulating components of the GH-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) system [i.e. GH, GH-binding protein (GHBP), IGF-I, and IGF-binding proteins 1-5 (IGFBP-1 through-5)] in adolescent females (age range, 15-17 yr) [33].
