Resumen
The aim of this work was to analyze the association between fitness and health-related quality of life, assessing the physical functionality impact as a mediator. Different tests of physical condition were carried. The composite physical function (CPF) questionnaire was used to measure the physical functionality and the EQ-5D-5L to quantify the HRQoL. The mediation analysis confirms the physical functionality mediator role between fitness and HRQoL (B=.051; CI= .036 to .067). The direct association of fitness and HRQoL had an effect of B=.0314, t=3.313. p=.001. It is concluded that the fitness, regardless its impact on physical functioning, is related to HRQoL.
