Reduced "exercise capacity" an ominous sign

Not new. Wasted research money. Still has some meaning as a reminder.
"People who have trouble exercising on a treadmill are at increased risk of suffering a heart attack or other heart-related event and of dying, according to results of a study...

According to Peterson's team, people with low exercise capacity, relative to those with normal exercise capacity, on the treadmill test, had more than a twofold increased risk of having a heart attack, experiencing chest pain, or needing a revascularization procedure.

Low exercise capacity was also significantly associated with an increased risk of dying from any cause.

Peterson's team also found that individuals with lower exercise capacity were more likely to be female and to have other comorbid conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure compared to individuals with greater exercise capacity."

Can you guess the fix?
