Despite cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength being key indicators of cardiovascular outcomes, they have not been investigated in ART offspring yet. This observational pilot cohort study aimed to evaluate CRF and muscle strength in ART participants and spontaneously conceived controls. Anthropometric variables, diet quality, level of physical activity, and sedentary behavior were evaluated. Participants performed a 6-min walking test (6MWT) and a 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT). 6MWT distance and the number of archived laps were assessed, the maximal oxygen uptake (V\u0307O2<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>) was estimated, and pulse rate recovery was calculated. Maximal hand grip strength (HGS) was determined as a marker of muscle strength. Generalized linear models were used to adjust data for age, birthweight, and gestational age. Sixty-seven ART participants and 86 spontaneously conceived peers were included. Both groups did not differ significantly in age (11.3 (IQR 8.1\u201318.2) vs. 11.9 (IQR 8.7\u201318.3) years), gender ratio, anthropometric variables, diet quality, level of physical activity and sedentary behavior.
