TL;DR
Subjects with the metabolic syndrome who maintain a high fitness level have markedly lower CRP concentrations, as compared with those with a low fitness level.

CirculationChronic Subclinical Inflammation as Part of the Insulin Resistance Syndrome
2,371 Citations2000Andreas Festa, Ralph B. D’Agostino +4 more
It is suggested that chronic subclinical inflammation is part of the insulin resistance syndrome and potential benefits of anti-inflammatory or insulin-sensitizing treatment strategies in healthy individuals with features of IRS are suggested.

These prospective data suggest that measurement of CRP adds clinically important prognostic information to the metabolic syndrome and is associated with increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP).

JAMAIntensity and Amount of Physical Activity in Relation to Insulin Sensitivity
598 Citations1998Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis
Increased participation in nonvigorous as well as overall and vigorous physical activity was associated with significantly higher insulin sensitivity, and these findings lend further support to current public health recommendations for increased moderate-intensity physical activity on most days.
Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular BiologyAssociations Between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and C-Reactive Protein in Men

374 Citations2002Tracey McLaughlin, Fahim Abbasi +5 more
CRP concentrations are elevated predominantly in obese individuals who are also insulin resistant and fall in parallel with weight loss–associated improvements in insulin resistance, and regression analysis showed that SSPG and day-long plasma insulin response were the only significant predictors of CRP concentration.
