“…This finding is in agreement with other studies [ 29 , 30 ]. The correlation between children's height and CRF was statistically negatively significant, in contrast to what other studies suggest [ 31 , 32 ]. Α possible explanation for this difference could be the age range used in this study.…”

Background Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases during childhood, adolescence and older ages. The purpose of the study was to investigate associations between fatness, hemodynamic characteristics and secondary time with CRF in primary school-aged children. Methods Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), CRF (20 m shuttle-run) and sedentary time were measured for 105 children (categorized as normal, overweight, obese). The independent sample t-test checked for differences and one-way ANOVA—Post Hoc Test and stepwise linear regression analysis assessed the 20 m shuttle-run performance predictors. Results There was a statistically significant difference in CRF between boys and girls. There was a statistically significant difference between (p < 0.05) CRF for Normal weight (M = 47.58 ± 3.26 kg m−2) and Obese (M = 44.78 ± 3.23 kg m−2). CRF correlated with age, BMI and sedentary time (r > 0.3; p < 0.05). BMI is the best independent predictor of CRF. Conclusions Children with normal BMI tend to present better CRF performance than obese and overweight children. Sedentary behaviour is associated with lower CRF in primary school-aged children.

“…Body weight is a major confounder to performance on the field tests investigated (Pate et al, 1993). Body weight, height, gender, and body mass index are good CRE predictors among school students (Olawale, Mwila, Marie, & Lamina, 2017). Further, Vale et al, (2011) finding suggested that low CRE was a strong predictor of risk values of abdominal obesity in adolescence.…”

The lifestyle and diet of today's modern society can lead to overweight and obesity. Overweight and obesity is now beginning to worry. This study aims to provide a description of the condition of Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical fitness among adolescents in Bangka Belitung Islands in 2017, and how BMI and physical fitness are associated. 105 adolescents were participants of this study, 90 male and 15 female adolescents. Participants aged ± 18 years in the year of the study conducted. Anthropometry is performed to identify participants' BMI. Performance tests were conducted to identify the components of physical fitness related to the health of the participants. Performance of vertical jump (leg power), sprint 60 meter (speed), push-up (strength and endurance of arm muscle), sit-up (strength and endurance of abdominal muscles), and run / walk distance 1000/1200 meters (cardiorespiratory endurance). BMI has a significant correlation with the strength and endurance of arm muscle (t = 3.79, p < 0.05). BMI has a significant correlation with leg power (t = 4.97, p < 0.01). BMI correlates significantly with speed (t = 4.04, p < 0.05). CRE is only significantly correlated with abdominal muscle strength and endurance (t= 2.51, p < 0.01). Overweight and obesity can be prevented through the provision of a program of physical activity that meets the rules of physical fitness. The program should be provided from primary to senior high school and it’s a sustainable long-term program at every level of education at school. Hopefully overweight and obesity can be prevented.

“…Based on the physiological concept, gender and age are potential confounders of the correlation between nutritional status and fitness level. [24][25][26][27] Besides being associated with the level of fitness, age and gender are also associated with nutritional status. Therefore, a confounding analysis for gender and age was carried out independently on nutritional status and fitness level in this study.…”

Background and purpose: Time spent on sedentary work is a potential risk factor of nutritional problems among employees, which could lead to a low level of fitness. This study aims to determine the correlation between nutritional status with fitness level among government employees of Denpasar City. Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this study are 285 government employees in Denpasar City who had taken a physical fitness measurement test using the Rockport method and complete demographic data. Data on fitness level, nutritional status, age, gender, and pulse rate were included in the analysis using a multinomial logistic regression test.Results: The median age of employees are 47 years old and slightly more females (51.6%) than males. More than half of the employees had a low level of fitness (50.9%) and most were overweight (47%). The overweight group was 4.11 times more likely to have a low fitness level than the healthy weight group (RRR=4.11; 95%CI: 1.03-16.32).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and fitness level after gender, age, and pulse rate were controlled. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a normal nutritional status to maintain or enhance individual fitness level by routinely following regular sports activities that have been programmed and do stretching in between working hours.
