Abstract

The association between physical exercise (fitness) and mortality is a definite certainty in the scientific literature. Objective of this review is to analyse in depth the existing evidence of the association between fitness and tendency to develop chronic non-fatal kidney and heart events. While it is undisputed that cardio-respiratory functional capacity is to some extent correlated to physical activity throughout life, can one postulate that a similar reasoning also applies to renal function?  (Cardionephrology)
