“…Recent findings, which revealed a decrease in CRP of girls during the last two decades, highlighted the need for monitoring using this physical fitness parameter [28]. CRP was inversely associated with BMI, it was lower in children Brought to you by | MIT Libraries Authenticated Download Date | 5/11/18 10:17 AM and adolescents with higher BMI [1,8,9,14], and it was in close relationship with the parameters consisting the paediatric metabolic syndrome [7]. Increased risk for cardiovascular disease was found among adolescents with low CRP [15].…”

SummaryStudy aim: To examine the association between two submaximal (physical working capacity at a heart rate of 170 (PWC 170 ) on cycle ergometer test and YMCA Step Test) and maximal measures (maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max)) of aerobic power, as well as to study the repeatability of the aforementioned submaximal measures in physically active female adolescents. Material and methods: Ten female adolescents, aged 13.4 ± 0.7 years old, all members of a local track and field sport club, performed the PWC 170 and YMCA Step Test twice. The tests were separated by an interval of one week. During the second laboratory visit, VO 2max was measured during a graded exercise test. Results: Considering the repeatability of submaximal measures, intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.89 (95% CI 0.55-0.97) and 0.91 (95% CI 0.65-0.98) in absolute and relative to body mass values of PWC 170 , while it was 0.69 (95% CI -0.27-0.92) with regard to heart rate at the end of step test and 0.78 (95% CI 0.11-0.95) at the end of the first minute of recovery after step test. PWC 170 was associated significantly with VO 2max in absolute values (r = 0.65, p = 0.04), but not with VO 2max relative to body mass values (r = 0.44, p = 0.20). The corresponding relationships between relative PWC 170 and VO 2max were r = 0.39 (p = 0.27) and r = 0.60 (p = 0.06). Heart rate at the end of the step test was non-significantly related to VO 2max in both absolute and relative values (r = -0.53, p = 0.12 and r = -0.61, p = 0.06), whereas respective values of heart rate at the end of the first minute after step test were r = -0.72 (p = 0.02) and r = -0.69 (p = 0.03). Conclusion: These submaximal measures appeared to be valid and reliable, and they were recommended for further use in similar population with the assumption that a familiarization session was preceded.

Intervenção multiprofi ssional melhora a aptidão física IntroduçãoIntervenção multiprofi ssional melhora a aptidão física relacionada à saúde de adolescentes com maior efeito sobre as meninas em comparação aos meninos CDD. 20.ed. 613.398 613 ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo verifi car as diferenças entre as respostas de meninos e meninas a um programa multiprofi ssional de tratamento da obesidade sobre a aptidão física relacionada à saúde.Fizeram parte do estudo 163 adolescentes com excesso de massa corporal e idade entre 10 e 18 anos. Foram avaliados parâmetros antropométricos, composição corporal, fl exibilidade, força e resistência abdominal e aptidão cardiorrespiratória antes e após 16 semanas de intervenção multiprofi ssional. A intervenção multiprofi ssional contou com a participação de profi ssionais de educação física, nutrição, psicologia e pediatria e teve como foco principal o incentivo a mudanças nos hábitos alimentares e de atividade física que pudessem promover alterações positivas nos parâmetros analisados. A intervenção teve frequência semanal de três sessões, sendo uma hora de intervenções teóricas com os profi ssionais de educação física, nutrição e psicologia e a outra hora destinada à prática regular de exercícios físicos, com predominância de exercícios físicos resistidos, aeróbios e prática de basquetebol. Após a intervenção tanto as meninas quanto os meninos apresentaram melhoras signifi cativas nas variáveis IMC, circunferência de cintura e quadril, massa gorda relativa e absoluta, massa magra, fl exibilidade, força/resistência abdominal e aptidão cardiorrespiratória, porém com resultados mais expressivos para as meninas sobre a circunferência de cintura, gordura corporal (kg), VO 2max e força/resistência abdominal.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Adolescente; Obesidade; Aptidão física; Estudos de intervenção.Nas últimas décadas, a obesidade tem se apresentado como uma epidemia global na população jovem, sendo considerada uma importante preocupação em saúde pública devido, principalmente, às comorbidades associadas. Esta doença geralmente está associada à redução dos níveis de aptidão física relacionada à saúde (AFRS), dentre eles da aptidão cardiorrespiratória, que por sua vez pode contribuir para o aumento do risco de doenças cardiometabólicas [1][2][3] .Desse modo, estratégias de tratamento são recomendadas assim que identi cado o excesso de gordura corporal, buscando aumentar os níveis de AFRS das crianças e adolescentes, a m de evitar complicações decorrentes do excesso de gordura corporal [4][5][6][7] . O aumento dos níveis de aptidão cardiorrespiratória proporciona melhora no estado metabólico de jovens obesos 8 , exercendo um papel cardioprotetor [3][4] .Intervenções para crianças e adolescentes com excesso de gordura corporal, focadas em mudança do estilo de vida têm apresentado resultados signi cativos na AFRS 9-10 , principalmente em relação à melhora na aptidão cardiorrespiratória [11][12][13][14] . Apesar dos resultados positivos observados sobre a AFRS 9 , a partir do que se foi levan...

“…Obesity is a complex condition with complex causes, but it is well known that continued positive energy balance significantly contributes to obesity (Aires et al 2010). Low levels of PA and increased ST contribute to this state of positive energy balance and partially explain this increased prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity (Aires et al 2010).…”

Multinomial logit regression was used to explore the effects of sex and BMI on PA levels. Results: Males were significantly more likely to engage in PA at least 5 times during school in the past week (U=5.07, z= -11.76, p< .05). Obese participants were less likely to report engaging in PA 5 times in the past week (U=4.11, z= -1.17, p< .05). Asian Chinese (U=8.01, z= -1.31, p< .05), Black Caribbean (U=5.08, z= -1.92, p< .05) ethnicities were significantly more likely to report engaging in no activity. Multinomial logit regression analyses revealed that girls with higher BMI were less likely to engage in PA at least 4 times after school in the last week than boys (b=.11, Wald X 2 (1)=9.81, p< .01). Walking (36.4%), jogging/running (29.9%), and football (28%) were the most frequently reported activities. Conclusion: Engaging girls in after school PA is important and making sports clubs and activities available and attractive to this target group may help increase engagement in PA and reduce ST. Findings support the need for more culturally responsive pedagogy in schools with curricula that respects diversity and individuality and has meaning and value amongst superdiverse young people.

Intensity of Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Body Mass Index in Youth

Abstract: Low CRF is strongly associated with obesity, which highlights the importance of increasing CRF for a protective effect even in youth. No associations were found for PA and BMI.
