Description
Anna Lipowicz and co-authors linked body build to heart and lung fitness in healthy Polish adults in a 2025 study. Fitness was measured by the most oxygen the body can use at peak effort, a strong marker of heart health and survival. Body build was summed up by somatotype, a scheme that rates leanness, muscle, and roundness together.
The study measured close to three hundred men and women aged from eighteen to seventy-two. Standard body measures fed the build ratings, and exercise tests gave the fitness scores. The authors then compared fitness across build types for each sex. Their results give clinics a fuller picture than weight alone, since two people of equal weight can differ greatly in fitness by build.
