“…There are indications that childhood overweight or obesity as well as motor competence has been linked with rather sedentary lifestyle (Jimenez-Pavón, Kelly, & Reilly, 2010). The level of children's motor competence is considered to be a predictor of adiposity (Rodrigues et al, 2013).…”

“…This reciprocal relation is probably influenced by physical activity, physical fitness, leading to a variety of individual developmental trajectories (Rodrigues, Leitão, & Lopes, 2013). However, mechanisms of these relations and effects are still incompletely understood (D'Hondt et al, 2014;Lopes et al, 2012).…”

“…In 2008, Stodden et al [5] suggested that previous research had ''…failed to consider the dynamic and synergistic role that motor competence (MC) plays in the initiation, maintenance, or decline of physical activity…'' (p. 90). 'Motor competence' is a global term used in this paper to reflect various terminologies that have been used in previous literature (i.e., motor proficiency, motor performance, fundamental movement/motor skill, motor ability, and motor coordination) to describe goal-directed human movement.…”

Motor Competence and its Effect on Positive Developmental Trajectories of Health

In 2008, Stodden and colleagues took a unique developmental approach toward addressing the potential role of motor competence in promoting positive or negative trajectories of physical activity, health-related fitness, and weight status. The conceptual model proposed synergistic relationships among physical activity, motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and obesity with associations hypothesized to strengthen over time. At the time the model was proposed, limited evidence was available to support or refute the model hypotheses. Over the past 6 years, the number of investigations exploring these relationships has increased significantly. Thus, it is an appropriate time to examine published data that directly or indirectly relate to specific pathways noted in the conceptual model. Evidence indicates that motor competence is positively associated with perceived competence and multiple aspects of health (i.e., physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and a healthy weight status). However, questions related to the increased strength of associations across time and antecedent/consequent mechanisms remain. An individual's physical and psychological development is a complex and multifaceted process that synergistically evolves across time. Understanding the most salient factors that influence health and well-being and how relationships among these factors change across time is a critical need for future research in this area. This knowledge could aid in addressing the declining levels of physical activity and fitness along with the increasing rates of obesity across childhood and adolescence.

“…Además, la evidencia científica ha demostrado que estas enfermedades no se originan en la adultez; por el contrario, el nivel de AFRS y los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en la edad adulta están directamente relacionados con la AFRS que se obtuvo en la infancia o adolescencia [14][15][16] . Lo anterior, sumado a que la valoración de la AFRS permite identificar y controlar los factores que pueden generar alteraciones orgánicas; su evaluación en las escuelas y colegios se convierte en una necesidad sentida que serviría de base para plantear programas y proyectos que fomenten una adecuada AFRS que disminuya el riesgo de presentar obesidad y enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles como las cardiovasculares en la adultez.…”

RESUMENObjetivos: determinar el nivel de AFRS y explorar la asociación entre capacidad aeróbica, flexibilidad y fuerza muscular con el exceso de peso en escolares de 8 a 12 años. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal, se seleccionaron por conveniencia los grados cuarto y quinto del Instituto Tecnológico Salesiano Eloy Valenzuela. La prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad se determinó según la OMS-CDC y el FITNESSGRAM. La AFRS se evaluó mediante la batería FITNESSGRAM. Se aplicaron modelos de regresión de Poisson simples y múltiples para calcular las razones de prevalencia (RP) y sus intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC95%). Resultados: participaron 66 escolares (10,4 ± 0,82 años), 19,6% mujeres y 48,5% de grado cuarto. El 78,8% y 39,4% estaba por debajo de la zona de aptitud física saludable en las cualidades fuerza muscular en extensores de tronco y capacidad aeróbica, respectivamente. La prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad según el criterio OMS-CDC fue del 30,3%. Las cualidades físicas asociadas con el sobrepeso y obesidad fueron capacidad aeróbica (RP 2,32 IC95% 1,08-4,96) y la fuerza muscular de miembros superiores (RP 3,53 IC95% 1,28-9,69). Conclusiones: el porcentaje de niños por debajo de la zona saludable fue mayor en las cualidades físicas, fuerza muscular y capacidad aeróbica. Las cuales se asociaron con exceso de peso. Esto es especialmente relevante dado que una adecuada capacidad aeróbica en la niñez se ha relacionado con un perfil cardiometabólico más saludable.

FITNESS-RELATED HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN 8-12 YEARS OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL FROM BUCARAMANGAABSTRACT Objectives: to determine the level of RPF and to explore the association among aerobic fitness, flexibility and muscle strength with overweight and obesity in schoolchildren 8-12 years. Methods: a cross-sectional study was performed; we selected for convenience the fourth and fifth degrees from "Instituto Tecnologico Salesiano Eloy Valenzuela". The prevalence of overweight and obesity was determined according to the WHO-CDC and the FITNESS-GRAM. The HRPF was assessed using the FITNESSGRAM battery. Simple and multiple Poisson regression models were applied to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) and their confidence intervals 95% (CI 95%).Results: a total of 66 students (10.4 ± 0.82 years), 19.6% women, and 48.5% of the fourth grade, were included. 78.8% and 39.4% were below the healthy fitness zone in the trunk extension strength and the aerobic fitness qualities, respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity according to WHO-CDC criteria was 30.3%. The physical qualities associated with overweight and obesity were aerobic fitness (PR 2.32 CI 95% 1.08 to 4.96) and muscle strength of upper limbs (PR CI 95% 1.2...
