Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the homocysteine relationship with the level of cardiorespiratory fitness of the practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity from the elderly through. Identification of homocysteine concentration in the research sample, Identification the level of cardiorespiratory fitness in the research sample , Identification of the relationship between homocysteine concentration and cardiorespiratory fitness in a sample. The researcher used the" Balcke and Ware test "and applied it to the apparatus for measuring heart and lung efficiency during the effort (Ergospirometry Zan 680), The researcher used the descriptive method. The study was conducted on a sample of 14 individuals aged 50-60 years of Mansoura University workers, divided into two groups, the first includes 7 members of participants in the fitness center at Mansoura University, and The second group includes 7 individuals who are not practicing any physical activity, were analyzed the data statistically using the statistical program spss and calculate the averages, the average level, the total level, the value of Mann Whitney test and the pearson correlation significance. The most important results were the level of homocysteine in practitioners of physical activity in the normal level and a high in non-practicing physical activity in a sample search,. There were statistically significant differences in the level of cardiorespiratory fitness among practitioners of physical activity and non-practitioners for the practitioners group in the research sample, There is a statistically significant inverse relationship between the level of homocysteine and cardiorespiratory fitness in a sample search. The most important recommendations were, the need to follow the level of homocysteine to the elderly continuously, interest to measurements of heart and lung function in older persons
