Poor fitness in middle age is a risk factor for heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction, which is a direct consequence of sedentary aging.
In a recent study titled above and conducted by the American heart and stroke association, it was concluded that in previously sedentary healthy middle-aged adults, 2 years of exercise training improved maximal oxygen uptake and decreased cardiac stiffness. Regular exercise training may provide protection against the future risk of heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction by preventing the increase in cardiac stiffness attributable to sedentary aging.
