“…In terms of research, the initial focus was on the impact of physical activity or exercise on physical health [3]. For example, Guy (1843) found that workers with different labor intensities have different all-cause mortality rates, and workers with high labor intensities have lower all-cause mortality rates than workers with low labor intensities; Smith (1864) and Silverstein (1922) , using farmers and professionals as samples, respectively, believe that people with more physical activity have a lower mortality rate than those with less physical activity [4][5] [6]. Later, due to the emergence of some chronic diseases, more literature focused on the linear relationship between physical fitness or physical activity intensity and the prevalence of chronic diseases [7].…”

With the further understanding of the concept of health management and the connotation of integration of sports and medicine, and the transformation of health management concepts, people have a further understanding of the connotation and implementation fields of integration of sports and medicine. This paper attempts to explore the evolution connotation of integration of sports and medicine and analyze its value and significance by sorting out the international trends in the development of integration of sports and medicine.

“…Many of these ideas have been around for some time; the concept of selection bias, for example, was identified at least as far back as 1843 [5], although the term itself was not coined until much later. An early and thoughtful treatment of this topic, which heavily informs both my own approach and these checklists, first was published in JAMA in the early 1990s as a series called ''Users' Guides to the Medical Literature'' [12].…”

“…Since Hippocrates first advised of the importance of PA to health and longevity over 2000 years ago, the evidence that PA is important in the prevention and treatment of chronic conditions and premature mortality has continued to accumulate [29]. In 1843, Dr. William Guy was one of the first to objectively assess the benefits of PA. After contrasting the mortality rates for sedentary workers and physically active workers, he concluded that "strong exercise is favourable to health" [30].…”

BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is a behaviour, defined as any bodily movement that increases energy expenditure above resting levels, while cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a physiologic trait that reflects the ability of the respiratory, circulatory, and musculoskeletal systems to deliver and utilize oxygen. Although both CRF and PA are inversely associated with mortality risk, whether they are associated independent of each other is unclear.METHODS: CRF was assessed by a maximal exercise test and PA was measured by selfreport in 8171 male veterans. The predictive power of CRF and PA, along with clinical variables, was assessed for all-cause mortality during a mean (±SD) follow-up period of 8.7 (4.4) years during which there were 1349 deaths. RESULTS:CRF was associated with mortality after adjusting for traditional risk factors commonly measured in clinical practice, and remained a strong predictor of mortality after further adjusting for PA (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83 -0.87). PA was a significant predictor of mortality after controlling for clinical variables, however the association was eliminated after further adjusting for CRF (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.88 -1.10). In CRF stratified analysis, being active (≥150 min/week) was not associated with mortality within the unfit or fit categories (p>0.4). However, in PA stratified analysis, subjects categorized as fit (≥7 METS) had a lower risk of mortality regardless of PA status (p<0.001). CONCLUSION:In adult men, PA was associated with mortality above and beyond established risk factors, but not CRF. Conversely, CRF remained a strong predictor of mortality, independent of PA status and established risk factors.
