But this study is among the first of its kind to
link higher levels of fitness to a reduced risk of death from a heart attack.

The Physical Activity and Nutrition in Children Study (PANIC) carried out in the Institute
of Biomedicine at the University
of Eastern Finland shows that low
levels of physical activity, weaker physical
fitness and
higher body fat content are
linked to arterial stiffness already in 6 - 8 year - old children.
How many studies have you read about the
links between
high fitness levels and decreased risk
of cancer, heart disease and stroke?
And since the
link between oxidative and non-oxidative pathways, and heart rate is mediated by hormone
levels, aerobic function isn't really going to be mediated by cardiovascular
fitness: the hormonal changes that result in a reduction
of oxidation and increase in anaerobic function occur at a very
high heart rate reserve (long, long before your cardiovascular
fitness maxes out).
