Cut-off values for estimated cardiorespiratory fitness in terms of physical functioning among middle-aged to older adults
VO<inf>2max</inf> of 30 mL/kg/min and 600-m walking distance seemed reasonable cut-off values for poor physical functioning. Exceeding the currently proposed thresholds is a desirable goal to avoid consequences of insufficient fitness.
