“…Our finding was neither associated with onset of puberty nor disciplines closely to trauma or injuries. Sex hormones may play a central role in the aetiology of this malignancy (39) and physical activity is suggested to influence cancer development through hormonal mechanisms (40). As strenuous exercise might influence both basal and acute androgen levels (41) and also have immunosuppressive effects (3,42), these factors might explain the present observation.…”

“…16 Several studies reported a gender-related development of relative body weight and fat distribution in children of this age. Wilmore and Costill 17 found an impressive increase in subcutaneous fat tissues in nonobese girls at the onset of their sexual maturation, whereas boys showed no changes in the percentage of their body fat over time. However, van Lenthe et al 18 found no differences in fat distribution between nonobese males and females between the ages 13 and 27 y.…”

Freiburg Intervention Trial for Obese Children (FITOC): results of a clinical observation study

BACKGROUND:The Freiburg Intervention Trial for Obese Children (FITOC) is an interdisciplinary, outpatient program for obese children consisting of regular physical exercise and comprehensive dietary and behavioral education. Parental involvement is required. The study is designed as a longitudinal, nonrandomized clinical observation study. An 8-month intensive phase preceded a follow-up phase of 1 y or longer. METHODS: Data were collected from 31 groups comprising 496 children (267 girls, 229 boys), with an average age of 10.5 y. Body height and weight, fasting total-cholesterol (CH), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) and physical performance were measured initially and after 8.5 months. A group of n ¼ 35 obese children (16 girls, 19 boys) who did not take part in this intervention program served as controls. RESULTS: After the intensive intervention phase, body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) as well as BMI deviation scores (BMI-SDS) decreased in both sexes (Po0.001). In the controls, BMI increased (Po0.001) and BMI-SDS remained constant. Whereas CH was only significantly lower (Po0.01) in boys after 8.5 months, LDL-C decreased significantly in both sexes. HDL-C tended to increase in both sexes (not significant). The controls showed no significant changes in CH, LDL-C and HDL-C. The fitness levels (W/kg body weight) improved in the intervention group (Po0.001), but not in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that obese children can be successfully treated in such an intervention program. BMI-SDS and risk factors decreased and physical performance improved. To maintain therapeutical success, we highly recommended that these children enroll in community-based exercise programs in order to help them maintain a more active lifestyle after the follow-up phase.

“…The subjects remained seated for 20 min, with their arms relaxed at the sides of the body, in a noiseless environment and with the temperature between 24 and 26°C (Wilmore et al 2010). BP was measured during the last minute of resting (MAPA, MEDITECH, Brasilia, Brazil).…”

“…The aging process involves a series of changes, including the reduction of the physical fitness (Wilmore et al 2010;Janssen et al 1985;Holland et al 2002), mainly of aerobic endurance, strength, and balance. These changes impact the everyday life of older adults, limiting their capacity to accomplish normal activities in a comfortable manner and increasing the risk of falls, which affects their functional independence and quality of life (Power and Howley 2000).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of two periodized training programs of deep water running on functional fitness and blood pressure in the older adults. Thirty-six individuals were divided into continuous group (CONT) and interval group (INT). Both groups were trained for 28 weeks (twice weekly). Measures were performed before the training period, after 12 weeks and training period. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc of Bonferroni were used (α = 0.05). There were no differences between groups in functional tests, with the exception of the flexibility of the upper limbs, in which the INT group showed the highest values. There was a significant improvement in both groups of foot up-and-go test (CONT 6.45 (CONT 567.50 to 591.16; INT 521.41 to 582.77, in meters). No differences were shown between groups for systolic blood pressure; however, diastolic blood pressure remained higher in CONT during all training. The blood pressure decreased significantly in both groups after the training (CONT 142 ± 16/88 ± 3 to 125 ± 14/77 ± 7 mmHg; INT 133 ± 15/75 ± 7 to 123 ± 17 and 69 ± 11 mmHg). Both programs of deep water running training promoted improvements of similar magnitude in all parameters of functional fitness, with the exception of flexibility of upper limbs, and decreased blood pressure in the older individuals.
