The aim of this study is to determine the behaviour of cardiorespiratory aptitude and adiposity against the physical activity of the adult population in Neiva Colombia. 972 subjects between 18 to 75 years of age were evaluated. This is a descriptive correlational study. Data were analyzed in SPSS-23 and InfoStat / Professional 1,2. The methodology departed from the description of variables, then the degree of association between them (Pearson correlation coefficient), the shaped groups (ANOVA test and LSD multiple comparison Fisher) were compared; and finally, the degree of clustering among the variables (Test Average linkage) was established. The results evidenced meaningful differences in the body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate (RHR) and maximum oxygen consumption (VO2máx.), between active and inactive; 5 % association among the BMI with RHR and VO2máx. Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage (BF%); of WHR with BF%, VO2máx, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic (DBP); of the BF% with RHR, DBP and VO2máx; the RHR with VO2máx; the SBP with DBP and VO2máx rejecting the independence hypothesis. As a conclusion, adiposity indicators and cardiorespiratory aptitude are a combination of disease risk factors of hypokinetic in the population.
