Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention is limited by the major challenge of low long-term adherence to effective lifestyle regimens. Arterial stiffness (measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [cfPWV]) and maximal cardiorespiratory fitness (measured by VO2max) are modifiable risk factors for CVD but require sustained lifestyle change. Wearable technology provides continuous me…
