Objective: Nonexercise algorithms are cost-effective methods to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), but the existing models have limitations in generalizability and predictive power. This study aims to improve the nonexercise algorithms using machine learning (ML) methods and data from US national population surveys.
Materials And Methods: We used the 1999-2004 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), measured through a submaximal exercise test, served as the gold standard measure for CRF in this study. We applied multiple ML algorithms to build 2 models: a parsimonious model using commonly available interview and examination data, and an extended model additionally incorporating variables from Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and standard laboratory tests in clinical practice. Key predictors were identified using Shapley additive explanation (SHAP).
Results: Among the 5668 NHANES participants in the study population, 49.9% were women and the mean (SD) age was 32.5 years (10.0). The light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) had the best performance across multiple types of supervised ML algorithms. Compared with the best existing nonexercise algorithms that could be applied to the NHANES, the parsimonious LightGBM model (RMSE: 8.51 ml/kg/min [95% CI: 7.73-9.33]) and the extended LightGBM model (RMSE: 8.26 ml/kg/min [95% CI: 7.44-9.09]) significantly reduced the error by 15% and 12% (P < .001 for both), respectively.
Discussion: The integration of ML and national data source presents a novel approach for estimating cardiovascular fitness. This method provides valuable insights for cardiovascular disease risk classification and clinical decision-making, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes.
Conclusion: Our nonexercise models provide improved accuracy in estimating VO2 max within NHANES data as compared to existing nonexercise algorithms.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how exercise affects tumors in mice with a type of aggressive cancer found in kids called neuroblastoma.
- They put 14 male mice into two groups: one group exercised a lot for 5 weeks, and the other group did nothing.
- The results showed that exercise changed many proteins in the tumors, helping us understand how working out might fight cancer better, especially by affecting energy use and how the body controls tumor growth.
Non-exercise estimated cardiorespiratory fitness and incident type 2 diabetes in adults.

Aim(s): To examine the association between non-exercise estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) and incident type 2 diabetes.
Methods: In a sample of 13,616 men and women without diabetes at baseline, incident type 2 diabetes were determined as fasting plasma glucose level ≥ 7 mmol/l (126 mg/dL), self-report, or insulin usage at follow-up. eCRF was calculated in metabolic equivalents (METs) at baseline using sex-specific algorithms, including physical activity, smoking status, age, body mass index, waist circumference, and resting heart rate.
Machine learning predicts peak oxygen uptake and peak power output for customizing cardiopulmonary exercise testing using non-exercise features.

Purpose: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is considered the gold standard for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. To ensure consistent performance of each test, it is necessary to adapt the power increase of the test protocol to the physical characteristics of each individual. This study aimed to use machine learning models to determine individualized ramp protocols based on non-exercise features.

A non-exercise method equation using seismocardiography for estimating V̇Opeak (SCG V̇Opeak) has previously been validated in healthy subjects. However, the performance of the SCG V̇Opeak within a trained population is unknown, and the ability of the model to detect changes over time is not well elucidated. Forty-seven sub-elite football players were tested at the start of pre-season (SPS) and 36 players completed a test after eight weeks at the end of the pre-season (EPS).

Introduction: Behavioral compensations may occur as a response to a negative energy balance. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between changes in energy intake (EI) and changes in physical activity (PA, min/day; kcal/d) as a response to a weight loss (WL) intervention and to understand if interindividual differences occur in EI and energy expenditure (EE).
Methods: Eighty-one participants [mean (SD): age = 42.
