Trends over 5 Decades in U.S. Occupation-Related Physical Activity and Their Associations with Obesity
- T. Church, Diana M. Thomas, C. Bouchard
- MedicinePLoS ONE
- 25 May 2011
It is estimated that daily occupation-related energy expenditure has decreased by more than 100 calories, and this reduction in energy expenditure accounts for a significant portion of the increase in mean U.S. body weights for women and men over the last 50 years.
Importance of Assessing Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Clinical Practice: A Case for Fitness as a Clinical Vital Sign A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

- Medicine, EducationJAMA
- 24 November 2010
Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a combination of aerobic and resistance training compared with the nonexercise control group improved HbA(1c) levels, but this was not achieved by aerobic or resistance training alone.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is Inversely Associated With the Incidence of Metabolic Syndrome: A Prospective Study of Men and Women
- M. LaMonte, C. Barlow, R. Jurča, J. Kampert, T. Church, S. Blair
- MedicineCirculation
- 26 July 2005
Clinicians should consider the potential benefits of greater cardiorespiratory fitness in the primary prevention of metabolic syndrome, particularly among patients who have already begun to cluster metabolic syndrome components.
Effects of different doses of physical activity on cardiorespiratory fitness among sedentary, overweight or obese postmenopausal women with elevated blood pressure: a randomized controlled trial.
- T. Church, C. Earnest, J. Skinner, S. Blair
- MedicineJAMA
- 16 May 2007
Previously sedentary, overweight or obese postmenopausal women experienced a graded dose-response change in fitness across levels of exercise training, and the primary outcome was aerobic fitness assessed on a cycle ergometer and quantified as peak absolute oxygen consumption.
Effect of structured physical activity on prevention of major mobility disability in older adults: the LIFE study randomized clinical trial.
- M. Pahor, J. Guralnik, J. Williamson
- Medicine, EducationJAMA
- 18 June 2014
The findings suggest mobility benefit from a structured, moderate-intensity physical activity program compared with a health education program reduced major mobility disability over 2.6 years among older adults at risk for disability.
The intriguing metabolically healthy but obese phenotype: cardiovascular prognosis and role of fitness.
- F. Ortega, Duck-chul Lee, S. Blair
- Medicine, BiologyEuropean Heart Journal
- 1 February 2013
Higher fitness should be considered a characteristic of metabolically healthy but obese phenotype, with a better prognosis for mortality and morbidity than metabolically abnormal obese individuals.
Adverse Metabolic Response to Regular Exercise: Is It a Rare or Common Occurrence?
- C. Bouchard, S. Blair, T. Rankinen
- MedicinePLoS ONE
- 30 May 2012
Adverse responses to regular exercise in cardiovascular and diabetes risk factors occur and identifying the predictors of such unwarranted responses and how to prevent them will provide the foundation for personalized exercise prescription.
