Highly significant results in both men and women

The Benefits of Improved Fitness
Increasing fitness lowers the risk of death by 23%

• Fitter people have a 66% reduction in all cause mortality over unfit patients
• Additionally, there is a lower risk of developing cardiovascular risk factors when you are fitter
• Fitter people are also 3-6 times less likely to develop diabetes, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome than those who are unfit

Increased fitness in men

• After completing six-weeks of interval training 76% of all men had above average fitness levels
• This was due to a 22% increase in physical fitness
• Their mean MHVO2/VO2 fitness ratio improved from 15.7 (average) to 12.3 (good) with a highly significant p-value of <0.0001

Better results for women

• Before completing the programme half of the women had below average fitness levels
• After six weeks only 16% still remained in this category
• The Rejuvenation Programme resulted in a 34% improvement in fitness, ensuring two-thirds of all women had above average fitness levels on completion
• Their mean MHVO2/VO2 fitness ratio to begin was 21.7 (poor) however this significantly improved (p<0.0001) to 14.4 (good) on completion

Being overweight and unfit does not mean you cannot exercise

• Many obese and/or unfit patients believe that their obesity precludes physical activity
• Utilising our form of exercise those that are obese or morbidly so are able to improve their fitness levels and cardiorespiratory function to the same extent as their less weighty colleagues
• Additionally patients who are unfit (as established by high MHVO2/VO2 ratios) do equally as well as those who are fitter
