Cardiorespiratory fitness is a term used to describe a person who engages in long-term physical activity such as running, cycling, and swimming. exercise Or people who climb stairs a lot.
In this new study, published in the British journal ‘The British Journal of Sports Medicine’, Swedish experts observed more than one million men with an average age of 33.
The men in the study were recruited into the Swedish army between 1968 and 2005. At the start of recruitment, these individuals were subjected to a series of tests including height, weight, blood pressure, burst strength and cardiorespiratory fitness.
During this period, 84,000 of these men were diagnosed with cancer.
The researchers found in the study that men with low cardiorespiratory fitness were more likely to develop cancer than those with high fitness.

Men with good cardiorespiratory fitness had a 19% higher risk of developing head and neck cancer, 39% of esophagus, 21% of stomach, 40% of liver, 18% of colon, 5% of rectum, and 19% of those with good cardiorespiratory fitness. percent, 20% in the kidney, 42% in the lung, and 12% in the pancreas.
The authors wrote: ‘These findings can be used in the development of government health plans. Moreover, the aim of this initiative may be to promote cardiorespiratory fitness among the youth.
However, the researchers also found that men with good cardiorespiratory fitness were slightly more likely to develop prostate cancer, at seven percent, while the risk of skin cancer increased to 31 percent.
An earlier study examining the same data suggested that the slightly increased risk of prostate cancer could not be linked to aggressive prostate cancer or prostate cancer deaths, but to more screening (tests).
The authors suggest that the high rate of skin cancer may be due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

**Interview with Dr. Lars Johansson, Lead Researcher on Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Cancer Risk**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. Johansson. Your recent study published in *The British Journal of Sports Medicine* presents some significant findings regarding cardiorespiratory fitness and its link to cancer risk in men. Can you summarize the key points of the study?
**Dr. Johansson:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. Our study analyzed data from over one million men who were recruited into the Swedish army between 1968 and 2005. We found that men with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness—the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the body during sustained physical activity—were significantly less likely to develop various types of cancer compared to those with low fitness levels. Specifically, we observed a lower incidence of cancers affecting the head, neck, stomach, pancreas, and more.
**Interviewer:** That’s a compelling connection. What types of physical activities fall under cardiorespiratory fitness?
**Dr. Johansson:** Cardiorespiratory fitness can be developed through various forms of exercise, primarily those that increase heart rate and involve sustained physical effort. This includes activities such as running, cycling, swimming, and even daily activities like climbing stairs. The key is long-term engagement in these activities, which ultimately impacts overall health and fitness levels.
**Interviewer:** It’s fascinating how you gathered this data over such a long period. Can you explain how the data collection was structured?
**Dr. Johansson:** Certainly. The participants underwent comprehensive testing upon their recruitment, which included measuring their height, weight, blood pressure, and, crucially, their cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Over the course of the study, we tracked the health outcomes of these men, and notably, about 84,000 were diagnosed with cancer. This large sample size provided us with robust data to analyze the correlation between fitness levels and cancer risk.
**Interviewer:** Based on your findings, what message do you hope to convey to the general public about physical activity and cancer prevention?
**Dr. Johansson:** Our research underscores the importance of maintaining a good level of cardiorespiratory fitness through regular exercise. While genetics play a role in cancer risk, our findings suggest that lifestyle choices—specifically physical activity—can significantly mitigate that risk. We advocate for everyone to engage in regular aerobic exercises and to view physical fitness as an integral component of cancer prevention strategies.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Johansson, for sharing these valuable insights. It’s clear that prioritizing fitness can have profound health benefits beyond just physical appearance.
**Dr. Johansson:** Thank you for having me. I hope our findings inspire more men to adopt active lifestyles for their health and wellness.
