“…It is worth noting that both Neto et al 16 and Negrão 17 have already called attention to the generalization of reference parameters regarding the evaluation of CRF. Another important point in this study relates to the wide age range of the participants (13 to 91 years).…”

“…That assessment, according to that guideline, allows assessing functional capacity and aerobic capacity, prescribing exercise, and showing the patients and their families their actual physical conditions, providing data to attending physicians. Briefly, the variation found among the three CRF classification tables points to the importance of developing classification tables specific for the Brazilian population, considering all ethnical, social and cultural differences 16,17,23 , in the search for more careful attention at health care services in Brazil.…”

Background: Most classification tables of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) used in clinical practice are international and have not been validated for the Brazilian population. That can result in important discrepancies when that classification is extrapolated to our population.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
