Figure 1

Body composition mediation models of the relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and blood pressure variables, controlling for age and sex. CRF indicate VO2max values obtained with Leger’s formulae. a, b, c and c' are expressed as the unstandardized regression coefficient, as suggested by Hayes14. *P<0.05; **P<0.001. BMI, body mass index; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; IE, Indirect effect; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; WC, Waist circumference.
