“…Studies conducted in different countries reveal that 13.7% to 56.0% of adolescents perform PA according to the current recommendations/ guidelines 7,8 . In Brazil, despite the increasing number of studies on the topic, information on the proportion of physically active adolescents (≥ 300 minutes of PA per week) in nationally representative samples is limited.…”

“…In addition to the methodological differences stressed above, the lack of description of certain anthropometric characteristics limited the discussion about differences between the studies cited. Some of these limitations should be taken into consideration for the interpretation of results, because recommendations that include diet and PA programs are part of weight-loss therapies and seem to help in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure levels [8][9][10] . Thus, a history of more than 300 min of PA per week may have included individuals who participate in therapeutic physical exercise training, a limitation of cross-sectional studies.…”

“…Participants were asked to report their PA for two week days (Wednesday and Thursday) and one weekend day (Sunday). Moderate-to-vigorous PA cut off points were defined as 300 minutes or more of PA per week (min/week) 7,8 The questionnaire has a reproducibility of r =0.92 and 0.99 for all levels of effort 11 . Using the Léger Test, the maximum VO2 was calculated according to the equation for the age range 6 to 18 years: y=31,025 + 3,238(1) -3,248(2) + 0,1536(1)(2) where y=ml/kg/min; 1=km/h (maximum speed reached during the test) and 2=age (in years).…”

“…For the maintenance of health in children and adolescents, the performance of 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity per week is recommended [5][6][7] . Coledam et al 8 studied the correlation between two cut off points for physical activity and associated factors in young people and came to the conclusion that the cut off points for moderate to vigorous physical activity of 300 and 420 minutes/ week showed strong concordance (90.5% of cases), and that there was no significant difference (9.5%) in the prevalence of compliance with the recommendation. That is, using different cut off points for physical activity results in similar youth prevalence values and factors.…”

“…That is, using different cut off points for physical activity results in similar youth prevalence values and factors. With regards to the amount of weekly physical activity of young people, despite the recommendations that moderate to vigorous physical activity is 60 minutes a day, studies have used a cut off as much as 300 minutes to 420 minutes weekly 8 . Regular PA may improve CRF.…”

-The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels on the prevalence of overweight and high blood pressure levels in adolescents. In this observational, cross-sectional study, 614 boys aged 10-14 years were assessed for height, body mass, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP). CRF was assessed using a run test (Léger Test) and subjects were then grouped according to their CRF level. PA level was assessed through a questionnaire (The Three Day Physical Activity Recall) and classified into two groups, namely > 300 minutes of PA/week and < 300 minutes of PA/week. Maturational stage was evaluated according to the development of pubic hair (self-assessment) as proposed by Tanner. We used statistical descriptive analysis, univariate and multivariate analyses in the total participants and subjects were divided by age. Fifty percent of the sample performed < 300 minutes of PA/week and 67.6% had unsatisfactory CRF levels. There was a higher prevalence of unsatisfactory CRF levels among subjects with altered BMI (overweight), WC (abdominal obesity) or BP (high blood pressure) for all age groups. PA history, however, did not show any significance. A total of 31% of participants were overweight, 24.8% had abdominal obesity and 15.4% had increased BP. Unsatisfactory CRF levels were found to be a better predictor for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CV) risk factors than PA history, regardless of age group.Key words: Cardiovascular diseases; Health status indicators; Motor activity; Oxygen consumption; Students.

Water and Beverage Consumption among Children Aged 4–13 Years in Lebanon: Findings from a National Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study evaluates total water intake (TWI) from plain water, beverages and foods among Lebanese children and compares TWI to dietary reference intakes (DRIs). In a national cross-sectional survey, data on demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, and physical activity characteristics were obtained from 4 to 13-year-old children (n = 752). Food and beverage consumption patterns were assessed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire. TWI was estimated at 1651 mL/day, with beverages contributing 72% of the TWI compared to 28% from foods. Beverages with the highest contribution to TWI included plain water, fruit juice and soda. A significantly higher proportion of 9–13-year-old children failed to meet the DRIs compared to 4–8 years old (92%–98% vs. 74%). Gender differentials were observed with a significantly higher proportion of boys meeting the DRIs compared to girls. The water to energy ratio ranged between 0.84 and 0.87, which fell short of meeting the desirable recommendations. In addition, children from higher socioeconomic status had higher intakes of water from milk and bottled water, coupled with lower water intakes from sodas. The study findings show an alarming high proportion of Lebanese children failing to meet TWI recommendations, and call for culture-specific interventions to instill healthy fluid consumption patterns early in life.
