IntroductionCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a stronger predictor of mortality than traditional risk factors and is a neglected vital sign of health. Enhanced fitness is a cornerstone in diabetes management and is most often delivered concurrently with pharmacological agents, which can have an opposing impact, as has been reported with metformin. Considering the rapid evolution of diabetes medications with improved cardiovascular outcomes, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, it is of importance to consider the influence of these vis-a-vis effects on CRF.Materials And MethodsCombining the words glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors with cardiorespiratory fitness, an online search was done using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Cochrane.ResultsThere were only a few randomized controlled studies that included CRF, and the results were mostly neutral. A handful of smaller studies detected improved CRF using sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in patients with congestive heart failure.ConclusionsSince CRF is a superior prognosticator for cardiovascular outcomes and both medications can cause lean muscle mass loss, the current review highlights the paucity of relevant interactive analysis.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2024.
