Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) refers to the capacity of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscle mitochondria for energy production needed during physical activity. CRF is an important marker of physical and mental health and academic achievement in youth. However, only 40 percent of United States youth are currently believed to have healthy CRF. In this statement, we review the physiologic principles that determine CRF, tools that are available to assess CRF, modifiable and non-modifiable factors influencing CRF, the association of CRF with markers of health in otherwise healthy youth, and the temporal trends in CRF, both in the United States and internationally. Development of a cost-effective CRF measurement process that could readily be incoproated into office visits and in field settings to screen all youth periodically could help identify those at increased risk.
