Aesthetic causes aside, how relevant is cardiorespiratory fitness to the average person?

Question

Can somebody elaborate on the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness in lowering the concentration of all cause mortality risk?

Answer 1

Cardiorespiratory fitness is the strongest predictor for a healthy and long life. A twofold risk in all causes of mortality is noticed in those who have a VO2max which is lower than 25 percent in comparison with those who have a VO2 max in the 50 to 75 percent. From 75 percent falls to 25 percent there is again a notable rise of a factor of 1.7 to 2.5 times A huge risk is also seen as you compare bottom 25 percent with the uppermost 2.5 percent it shows an all cause mortality risk difference by a factor of five. This seems to be one of the strongest links for any changeable deed.
