Long Description: This image is an illustration showing the relationship between cardioresperatory fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility. This shows a strong relationship between these 3 factors and the relationship between disease and functional limitations. The lower the level of these 3 fitness factors, the greater the pathology and functional limitations.
