One of the best predictors of mortality is cardiorespiratory
fitness.
To Extend Your Healthspan, Exercise to Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Aging is the greatest risk factor for nearly every chronic disease and morbidity that people
face.
Adam is Studying the Effectiveness of Rapamycin & Metformin in Delaying Osteoarthritis
Metformin mitigates the exercise-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity and cardiorespiratory fitness through its inhibition of skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations.
