Sports participation improves metabolic profile in adolescents: ABCD growth study

Abstract: To analyze the impact of participation in sports with different cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) demands on changes in metabolic and cardiovascular markers in adolescents. Longitudinal study with 12 months of follow-up (Analysis of Behaviors of Children During Growth [ABCD Growth Study]). Overall, 184 adolescents (age 15.6 ± 2.1) were classified according to sports participation: non-sport (control), low CRF sports, and high CRF sports.

“…In addition, sports practice is associated with reductions in inflammatory levels 30 , through the reduction in some cytokines such as IL-6 and adiponectin 31 , which are, in turn, associated with metabolic syndrome risk 32 . Moreover, intensity seems a key point to determine how effectively sports participation can impact metabolic aspects in adolescents, in which sports performed at higher physical demand tend to be more beneficial to different lipid and glycemic components than those performed at lower demand, including HDL-c 33 .…”
