Aims/hypothesis: Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes; but in people at risk, factors influencing VO2 max are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that VO2 max is associated with diastolic function (SEVR%), (as diastolic function influences myo...
