Short‐Term Changes in Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Response to Exercise Training and the Association with Long‐Term Cardiorespiratory Fitness Decline: The STRRIDE Reunion Study

Background Substantial heterogeneity exists in the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) change in response to exercise training, and its long‐term prognostic implication is not well understood. We evaluated the association between the short‐term supervised training‐related changes in CRF and CRF levels 10 years later. Methods and Results STRRIDE (Studies of a Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention Through Defined Exercise) trial participants who were...
