Redefining Health-Related Fitness: The Adaptive Ability to Foster Survival Possibilities.
Article in Sports medicine - open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fitness has been dominantly defined in terms of physical conditioning components. Under such definition, males tend to outperform females in strength, speed, aerobic or anaerobic capacity when compared at the same age and training status. However, females have a higher life expectancy, which in humans is related to higher biological fitness. Using the paradox of sex differences in fitness-where males have higher physical fitness but do not have a higher life expectancy-the aim of this opinion paper is to (a) highlight the multidimensionality of fitness, and (b) redefine health-related fitness, drawing on key fitness goals in biology: adaptability and survival. The redefinition of health-related fitness as the "adaptive ability to foster survival possibilities" encompasses synergies across physical, mental, psychological, emotional, social and subjective dimensions, while embracing the diversity of human characteristics, including sex, gender, age, somatotype, vital state, disability, disease and wellbeing, among others.
