Associations between physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness and adverse outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study
This study shows that MPA significantly reduces cardiovascular risks in patients with AF, with all PA levels lowering mortality. Any PA level is beneficial, leading to immediate improvements, but excessive PA may yield diminishing returns or risks. Focusing solely on intensity or duration is insufficient; scientifically designed interventions, especially those boosting CRF (e.g., VO<sub>2max</sub>), have a greater effect on AF prognosis. Future programs should integrate scientifically grounded strategies to maximize benefits.
