Abstract: Part 1 Physical activity, aerobic fitness, and health: physical activity physical fitness health-related fitness aerobic fitness and the duration of physical activity health interactions between physical activity, aerobic fitness, and health the practical importance of aerobic fitness. Part 2 Physiological determinants of aerobic fitness: centrality of oxygen transport and ATP regeneration the role of anaerobic energy release individual components of the oxygen transfer process limiting processes - evidence from the conductance theory limitations of the conductance theorem effective alveolar ventilation the oxygen cost of breathing pulmonary diffusing capacity effective cardiac output tissue diffusing capacity overall conductance equation. Part 3 Current levels of physical activity and health-related fitness: methodological considerations in population studies measurement techniques appropriate to large-scale surveys intrapopulation differences in physical activity intrapopulation difference in health-related fitness interpopulation differences in physical activity and health-related fitness in adults and in children and in the elderly priorities for future comparative research. Part 4 Aerobic fitness - nature or nurture?: the genetic component of aerobic fitness characteristics of endurance athletes types of aerobic training physiological and biochemical effects of aerobic training variations in the pattern of training specificity of aerobic training body composition and muscle strength factors modifying the aerobic training response optimum aerobic training recommendations overtraining maintenance and loss of training. Part 5 The goal of improved health: aerobic fitness and lifestyle aerobic fitness, perceived health and performance aerobic exercise and reproductive function aerobic exercise and pregnancy aerobic exercise, physical working capacity and quality of life acute disease, immune function and aerobic exercise cardiac disease respiratory disease metabolic disorders osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatic arthritis cancer disorders of affect bed rest and surgery musculoskeletal injuries.
