Which triglyceride level corresponds to Fitness on the SWF continuum?

• A. Less than 150 mg/dL
• B. Less than 100 mg/dL
• C. Greater than 200 mg/dL
• D. Between 100 and 150 mg/dL

Answer: (B)

Lower triglyceride levels indicate better metabolic health and exercise readiness along the SWF continuum. An optimal value is under 100 mg/dL, which reflects good lipid clearance, insulin sensitivity, and a lower cardiovascular risk profile often seen with higher fitness. Levels under 150 mg/dL are considered normal, but fitness typically aligns with the lower end, while 100–150 mg/dL is borderline and over 200 mg/dL signals higher risk. Therefore, the level that best corresponds to Fitness is less than 100 mg/dL.
