This shows if the fitness and weight loss also have its own role in cardiovascular health besides collectively as a way to reduce the weight and against CVD risk factors.
This conclusion appeared in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on February 6, 2012, after the researchers from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, analyzed the results of the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) involved 3148 healthy persons for six years of followed-up.
According to the findings, every 1-MET improving in fitness levels was associated with lowering risk of hypertension risk about 7%, 22% for metabolic syndrome, and 12% for hypercholesterolemia.
Therefore, if you don’t get a weight loss during your fitness or even gain weight, you don’t have to worry about its benefits because fitness itsel is also useful to reduce CVD risk factors.
