Results are presented as standardized β and p-values from multiple linear regression analyses (adjusted for age). BMI: body mass index; CRF: cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., peak VO2 uptake); CRFBW: CRF relative to body weight (peak VO2 uptake/kg of body weight); CRFFFM: CRF relative to fat free mass (peak VO2 uptake/kg of fat-free mass); HOMA: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; BP, blood pressure; Cardiometabolic risk Z-scores 1 and 2: the first Z-score included classical metabolic syndrome markers (glucose, triglycerides, HDL-C, BP, and waist circumference), while the second included these classical metabolic syndrome markers and insulin-related markers (insulin and HOMA index) and total cholesterol and LDL-C Z-score values; HR: heart rate (in beats per minute [bpm]); RMSSD: the square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of the R-R interval differences; SDNN: standard deviation of normal R-R intervals; pNN50: the percentage of R-R intervals that shows a difference higher than 50 milliseconds (ms); HF: the power of the high frequency band (HF: 0.15–0.4 Hertz); HRV Z-score: heart rate variability Z-score including the RMSSD, the SDNN, the pNN50, and the HF time and frequency domains parameters’ Z-score values.
