Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v64 n4 p377-84 Dec 1993
This cross-sectional study examined relationships among physical fitness, physical activity, and risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in male police officers. Data from screenings and physical fitness assessments indicated physical activity must be sufficient to influence fitness before obtaining statistically significant risk-reducing benefits on CAD risk factors.
