The participants of the present study were derived from the HUNT
Fitness Study, a sub-study of a large, population-based health
study in Nord-Trøndelag county, in the middle of Norway. The
HUNT Fitness Study was designed to obtain normal values of
maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in a healthy, adult population.
Inhabitants free from self-reported cardiovascular diseases, pul-
monary diseases, cancer, hypertension, and physical disability, in
three communities within the main HUNT study, were eligible for
VO2maxtesting (n=12 609). A brief medical interview was con-
ducted prior to testing with a medical doctor evaluating if the
subjects were eligible for maximal testing. None of the partici-
pants were on any medication considered to potentially affecting
heart rate, including beta-blockers. The population is therefore
considered apparently healthy. Between June 2007 and June 2008,
4635 participants (age range 19–89) accepted the invitation and
completed the maximal exercise test. The HUNT Fitness Study
participants were, on average, more physically active than the total
HUNT population, but not different from the total healthy popu-
lation in HUNT regarding age, blood pressure (systolic and diasto-
lic), waist circumference, and blood glucose levels (Aspenes et al.,
2011).
The study was approved by the Regional Ethical Committee for
medical research and the Norwegian Data Inspectorate. All par-
ticipants signed a document of informed consent.
