Individuals in the top 2.3% of cardiorespiratory fitness have an 80% reduction in all-cause mortality compared to those in the bottom 25% of VO2 max.

“the lowest improvement is going from high to elite that doesn't buy you a whole heck of a lot it is still statistically significant”

“if you compare someone of low fitness to elite it is a five-fold difference in mortality over a decade”

“even just going high to Elite 29% difference in relative risk”

“Meanwhile, those in the top 2.3% of VO2 max—elite fitness levels—see an 80% reduction in all-cause mortality compared to the least fit.”

“Going from a low cardiorespiratory fitness to a low normal adds 2.1 years to life expectancy.”

“so going from the low um bottom 25% of V2 Max up to the elite level so you're talking about the top 2.3% I mean this these are the Elite athletes that's associated with an 80% reduction in all cause all cause mortality so comparing those two groups people in the low 25% group versus the like the elite level”

“even going from the high cardiorespiratory Fitness so this uh this is the top 25% of the population they're good I mean these These are people that are they're communed exercisers they're really they're physically active they if they go up to the elite level um they they get a you know even 20% more reduction in all cause mortality”

“it kind of established that there was no upper limit to the mortality reduction of having a high cardiorespiratory Fitness I mean obviously within human normal human life expectancy ranges right”

“if you're low cardiorespiratory Fitness you have a five increased mortality rate over people that are more Elite so they're in the top two three 2.3% of cardiio risp Fitness”

“We know that people that are have a low cardiorespiratory fitness, if they go anywhere above being like the low, like let's say they go to just the low normal range, that's associated with just a 2-year increased life expectancy.”

“If they go from like below low to more of a high, then that's like a 5year increased life expectancy.”

“We know we know that eventually you know as we're aging we're going on this cliff. Our our cardiorespiratory fitness is going down. And so you want to get as high up as you can. You want to have the highest cardiorespiratory fitness as you can because that cliff will come and the higher up you start the longer it's going to take to get to that cliff.”

“So, I want to start by talking about cardiorespiratory fitness which is something that it is a marker of it's it's a marker of our our I would say life expectancy mortality risk dare to say longevity.”

“even people with a high cardiorespiratory fitness, if you compared them to the elite, people in the elite group still had about a 20% lower mortality risk than people in the high.”

“again, they've got a 5-year increased life expectancy, but they also have a 80% lower uh mortality risk than people in the low cardiorespiratory fitness group.”

“people in the low cardiorespiratory fitness group had a mortality risk that was either comparable or worse than smoking, having type two diabetes, having cardiovascular disease, right?”
