Medical fitness test now available at two Parker locations

DALLAS, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New research from The Cooper Institute® and partners at University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center, The University of Texas at Tyler and University of Alabama at Birmingham, shows that exercising, even at very high levels, is not related to the progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Previous research on physical activity and CAC, which suggested that individuals who engage in high volume endurance training (such as marathoners and triathletes) have more sub-clinical atherosclerosis or CAC, has primarily relied on assessment at one point in time and was unable to track individual changes in CAC. This new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Cardiology, shows that the progression of CAC over time is not associated with leisure-time aerobic physical activity measured at baseline and follow-up.
