“…The findings of the present research confirmed the finding of these earlier studies in the present Bengali children where PFI was significantly and negatively correlated with BMI and body fat percentage [21][22]. The observed negative association between body fat percent and physical fitness index (PFI) score concur with previous studies where sophisticated techniques to measure body composition were used [23][24][25][26]. On the other hand, Gutin et al [24] assessed body fat by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in youth and showed a negative association between body fat% and cardiorespiratory fitness in terms of PFI.…”

“…Our present finding also corroborate with the findings of Ortega et al [27][28], they observed that physical fitness index was negatively associated with waist circumference in Swedish and Spanish youth. On the other hand, Winsley et al [23] showed that visceral obesity assessed by MRI was negatively associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in children.…”

ABSTRACT-This study determined the relationship between obesity parameters (Body Mass Index, Waist Hip Ratio, Waist Thigh Ratio and Body Fat Percentage) and cardio respiratory fitness in terms of physical fitness index (PFI) and also were compared the selected physiological parameters (resting pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure) among three body weight categories of selected boys. The present study was carried out in 233 healthy school going Bengali boys aged 11 to <13 years from India. On the basis of BMI-age-boys Z-scores, boys were categorised in three subdivisions such Normal weight, Overweight and Obese. The Scheffe's multiple comparison post hoc analyses showed (p<0.05) significant difference of selected physiological parameters in each pairs of categories. The lowest (5 th ) to highest (95 th ) percentiles values of PFI were higher in normal weight categories than those in over weight and obese categories. Anthropometric obesity parameters were found to have significant (p < 0.001) and negative correlation with physical fitness index (PFI). However, multiple regression analysis found that only body mass index and waist hip circumference (WHR) were independently and significantly associated with the physical fitness index (PFI). The present study reveals that higher values of BMI, body fat% and WHR may be responsible for lower score of PFI which indicates low cardiorespiratory fitness in Bengali overweight and obese children.

“…Estas cifras se encuentran en la misma línea que lo planteado por otros estudios 30,31 , los cuales revelan que aquellos niños con mayor capacidad aeróbica presentan menores niveles de grasa central; y así lo demuestran las correlaciones directas y positivas entre las variables predictoras del modelo (VO 2 Max, dinamometría y salto). Estas tres capacidades determinan valores similares en la muestra de estudio, estableciéndose una clara asociación entre el estado de peso corporal y la condición física.…”

“…The same inverse association with cardiorespiratory fitness was observed when visceral and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue were measured using computed tomography or magnetic imaging resonance instead of waist circumference. 25,36 Further longitudinal investigations are needed for a better understanding of the specific associations of physical fitness with later abdominal adiposity and related diseases.…”

Physical fitness in childhood and adolescence: a powerful marker of health

This review aims to summarize the latest developments with regard to physical fitness and several health outcomes in young people. The literature reviewed suggests that (1) cardiorespiratory fitness levels are associated with total and abdominal adiposity; (2) both cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness are shown to be associated with established and emerging cardiovascular disease risk factors; (3) improvements in muscular fitness and speed/agility, rather than cardiorespiratory fitness, seem to have a positive effect on skeletal health; (4) both cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness enhancements are recommended in pediatric cancer patients/survivors in order to attenuate fatigue and improve their quality of life; and (5) improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness have positive effects on depression, anxiety, mood status and self-esteem, and seem also to be associated with a higher academic performance. In conclusion, health promotion policies and physical activity programs should be designed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, but also two other physical fitness components such us muscular fitness and speed/agility. Schools may play an important role by identifying children with low physical fitness and by promoting positive health behaviors such as encouraging children to be active, with special emphasis on the intensity of the activity.

Aerobic fitness and visceral adipose tissue in children

Abstract: Aerobic fitness is significantly inversely related to VAT, but subcutaneous body fatness is the single strongest determinant of VAT in children aged 13-14 y.
