BackgroundSarcopenia reduces physical ability and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), leading to poor quality of life.AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and CRF in elderly men.MethodsWe assessed 102 community-dwelling men over 60years old. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was determined using bioelectrical impedance analysis, and the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was calculated as ASM divided by the square of height. Subjects with an SMI less than 7.0kg/m(2) were included in the sarcopenic group, as recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. To investigate CRF parameters, a cardiopulmonary exercise test was performed using the Bruce protocol. CRF parameters were subdivided into aerobic capacity, cardiovascular response, and ventilatory response.ResultsOf the 102 subjects, 15 (14.7%) were included in the sarcopenic group. There were significant correlations between SMI and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) (r=0.597, p
