Remember when the American Heart Association coined cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), measured as #VO2max, a "clinical vital sign" and "probably the strongest indicator of health"? 😮 Nearly 10 years ago the American Heart Association published research titled: "Importance of Assessing Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Clinical Practice" in which they concluded: ...CRF for risk classification presents health professionals with unique opportunities to improve patient management and to encourage lifestyle-based strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk 💔 (see the source in the comment section) Screening for CRF is thus an important factor in firstly knowing what the individual's situation is like and, from that tailoring an intervention that strengthens overall health and monitoring progress quantifying success and providing motivation to keep going. Do you know your VO2max? #CardiorespiratoryFitness #HealthTech #PreventiveHealth
