Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) assessment is a critical tool for evaluating overall health, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary function. Standardized methods, including the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), provide objective data essential for clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized exercise interventions. Low CRF is a significant predictor of mortality and cardiovascular disease, while improving CRF offers substantial health benefits. CPET is also vital in pre-operative assessment and managing chronic conditions like COPD, underscoring the broad clinical utility of CRF evaluation.
