“…Although most previous research focused on sex as a predictor of risk propensity, in the present study, a multiple regression analysis highlighted a significant indirect effect of other mediating variables (VO 2 max, handgrip strength and age), which explained most of the factors analysed. However, this may be due to biological sex differences during adolescence, which may influence young people’s perceptions and behaviours, 72 with significantly higher VO 2 max 76 and handgrip strength values detected in males. More specifically, higher values of VO 2 max, handgrip strength and an older age, were related to higher perceived competence and greater competitiveness.…”

ObjectivesTo examine the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and muscular strength with indicators related to the risk scale, such as perceived competence, sensation seeking, competitiveness, risk taking and risk perception in sports.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingHigh schools from the Region of Murcia (Spain).ParticipantsThree-hundred-and-seventeen adolescents participated (mean age: 13.69±1.2 years old).Primary and secondary outcome measuresBody mass, body height, Course-Navette test, upper limb strength and psychoeducational factors that determine the propensity towards sports accidents in school children, the Sports Accident Propensity Scale were evaluated. It was performance t-test for independent samples, stepwise multiple linear regression models and a multiple mediation analysis.ResultsThe analysis showed significant differences with respect to sex in height, VO2max, handgrip strength and in all factors of the questionnaire (p=0.02-<0.01). Adolescents who presented greater VO2max, strength in the handgrip test and age showed a higher score in factors 1 and 3. Higher scores in factor 2 were associated with better VO2max and strength in handgrip test. Youngers and better values of strength in the handgrip showed higher score in factors 4 and 5. The mediation analysis with two mediating variables (handgrip strength and VO2max) showed a significant indirect effect. When handgrip strength and VO2max were included in the equations, the association between sex and each factor ceased to be significant.ConclusionThis study highlights the potential benefits of muscular strength (handgrip) and VO2max in the perceived risk scale, and the variable of age on this.Trial registration numberClinical trial:NCT05544370(pre-results).

“…(a) The distribution of the daily food allotment should be spaced over time to allow for smaller portion sizes of food in each meal as a way to facilitate streamlined digestive processes (and thus their timing) and to prevent substrate overloads. Large portions and a higher frequency of meals both increase the net energy balance [636], and large servings also increase insulin resistance [637], but the effect on total energy intake in a higher number of meals is more limited on these parameters [638].…”

The Metabolic Syndrome, a Human Disease

This review focuses on the question of metabolic syndrome (MS) being a complex, but essentially monophyletic, galaxy of associated diseases/disorders, or just a syndrome of related but rather independent pathologies. The human nature of MS (its exceptionality in Nature and its close interdependence with human action and evolution) is presented and discussed. The text also describes the close interdependence of its components, with special emphasis on the description of their interrelations (including their syndromic development and recruitment), as well as their consequences upon energy handling and partition. The main theories on MS’s origin and development are presented in relation to hepatic steatosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, but encompass most of the MS components described so far. The differential effects of sex and its biological consequences are considered under the light of human social needs and evolution, which are also directly related to MS epidemiology, severity, and relations with senescence. The triggering and maintenance factors of MS are discussed, with especial emphasis on inflammation, a complex process affecting different levels of organization and which is a critical element for MS development. Inflammation is also related to the operation of connective tissue (including the adipose organ) and the widely studied and acknowledged influence of diet. The role of diet composition, including the transcendence of the anaplerotic maintenance of the Krebs cycle from dietary amino acid supply (and its timing), is developed in the context of testosterone and β-estradiol control of the insulin-glycaemia hepatic core system of carbohydrate-triacylglycerol energy handling. The high probability of MS acting as a unique complex biological control system (essentially monophyletic) is presented, together with additional perspectives/considerations on the treatment of this ‘very’ human disease.
