“…Another study showed that CRF is the link of less BC associated with better cardiometabolic health (ANDERSEN et al, 2015). Besides, another aut hors showed that BC can be an intervenient negative factor for the CRF relation with less cardiometabolic risk (BRAND et al, 2018;GRALLA et al, 2019;PÉREZ-BEY et al, 2019).…”

“…However, in practice and applicable view for physical education teaching and management of physical exercise for children health promotion (KAHAN;LOUNSBERY, 2013), the upper cited studies thesis suggested when there is an improvement, as a fatness decrease in BC also there is an increase in CRF and vice versa HALLAL, 2014;FAIRCLOUGH, 2003;GORAN et al, 2000;GRALLA et al, 2019;MCMURRAY et al, 1998;MILANESE et al, 2020). Some of these results come from mediation analyses conception (BRAND et al, 2018;PÉREZ-BEY et al, 2019;WISNIESKI;DALIMONTE-MERCKLING;ROBBINS, 2019). It is probably that mediation analyses are possible and applicable because of the CRF positive relation with lean body mass HALLAL, 2014;FAIRCLOUGH, 2003;GORAN et al, 2000;GRALLA et al, 2019;MCMURRAY et al, 1998;MILANESE et al, 2020) and it is due to the maximal volume of oxygen (vo2máx) is relative and indissociable of the total body mass and BC measures when measured in field tests battery (BERGMANN et al, 2014;VALENTE-DOS-SANTOS et al, 2015;WERNECK et al, 2019).…”

“…Nevertheless, little is known about how Brazilian physical education classes without a specific health promotion intervention affects BC and CRF in children (BRAND et al, 2019(BRAND et al, , 2020GARCIÁ-HERMOSO et al, 2020;LEMES et al, 2019;OLIVEIRA et al, 2017). There is a necessity of a study most complex considering weights of possible determinant factors as sex, age, and school grade in the same mediation analysis model to understand how BC and CRF have relations through the baseline to follow-up evaluations (BRAND et al, 2018(BRAND et al, , 2019(BRAND et al, , 2020GARCIÁ-HERMOSO et al, 2020;LEMES et al, 2019;OLIVEIRA et al, 2017).…”

To verify the multiple relations of physical education participation, school grade, age, and sex with longitudinal cardiorespiratory fitness changes in children and to identify if there is a mediator role of longitudinal body composition changes in these relations. Methodology: This is a longitudinal study, carried out from March to November of 2019, with children from 6 to 12 years old, 150 boys and 80 girls. Children were classified according to a cut point of 70% of participation in physical education classes (>70%= High PE x <70%=Low PE). Outcomes were Body Composition (BC): body mass index, skinfolds, waist to height ratio, and Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Individual delta variation (D%), Cohens D, Bonferroni test, generalized estimative equations (GEE), and structural equations model (SEM) were estimated. Results: The results show a general boy’s and girl’s increasing in BC variables and a decrease in CRF at follow-up which more strength in the Low PE group compared to the High PE group. The SEM model showed that Children in the High PE group have the most decrease in BC variables and it is a role to relations between the High PE group with increasing in CRF. Conclusions: High PE group was associated with a D%CRF increase, it is an indirect association mediated by D% BC reduction. The SEM presents children that reduce BC also increasing CRF and vice-versa. The present study appoints that High PE participation is important to minimize the negative longitudinal effects of fatness on CRF.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating this hypothesis in older adults. Other studies show that fatness is a mediator of muscular fitness and metabolic syndrome [44] in adolescents and, similarly, Brand et al [45] and Bailey et al [46] found that body fat mediated the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk factors. Also, it has been shown that patients with T2DM and with visceral fat accumulation have low muscle quality [47].…”

Excess central adiposity accelerates the decline of muscle strength in older people. Additionally, hyperglycemia, independent of associated comorbidities, is related to the loss of muscle mass and strength, and contributes to functional impairment in older adults. We studied the mediation effect of glucose levels, in the relationship between abdominal obesity and relative handgrip strength (HGS). A total of 1571 participants (60.0% women, mean age 69.1 ± 7.0 years) from 86 municipalities were selected following a multistage area probability sampling design. Measurements included demographic and anthropometric/adiposity markers (weight, height, body mass index, and waist circumference). HGS was measured using a digital dynamometer for three sets and the mean value was recorded. The values were normalized to body weight (relative HGS). Fasting glucose was analyzed by enzymatic colorimetric methods. Mediation analyses were performed to identify associations between the independent variable (abdominal obesity) and outcomes (relative HGS), as well as to determine whether fasting glucose levels mediated the relationship between excess adiposity and relative HGS. A total of 1239 (78.8%) had abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity had a negative effect on fasting glucose (β = 9.04, 95%CI = 5.87 to 12.21); while fasting glucose to relative HGS was inversely related (β = −0.003, 95%CI = −0.005 to −0.001), p < 0.001. The direct effect of abdominal obesity on relative HGS was statistically significant (β = −0.069, 95%CI = −0.082 to −0.057), p < 0.001. Lastly, fasting glucose levels mediates the detrimental effect of abdominal obesity on relative HGS (indirect effect β = −0.002, 95%CI = −0.004 to −0.001), p < 0.001. Our results suggest that the glucose level could worsen the association between abdominal obesity status and lower HGS. Thus, it is plausible to consider fasting glucose levels when assessing older adults with excess adiposity and/or suspected loss of muscle mass.

“…Moreover, the effects of bF on CrF can be mediated by mean arterial pressure (MaP). a higher percentage of bF is associated with higher MaP [45]. however, some other factors, such as genetics and gender, may have an influence on the status of body composition and CrF [31,[46][47][48][49].…”

Background. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CrF) was reported to be associated with anthropometric measurements, including body mass, body mass index (bMi), fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM). This study aimed to investigate the impact of FM and FFM on muscle strength and CrF. Material and methods. This study was carried out on 270 randomly selected adults in Tehran, iran. anthropometric measurements, including weight, bMi, FM and FFM, were assessed using a bio-impedance analyzer (bia) (inbody 720, biospace, Tokyo, Japan). Muscle strength and CrF were assessed by handgrip dynamometer and bruce graded treadmill protocol, respectively. The international Physical activity Questionnaire (iPaQ) was used to measure health-related physical activity. a p-value less than 0.05 was statistically significant. Results. Significant associations were found between maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) and muscle strength with FM and FFM (p < 0.001). after adjusting for confounders, the association of VO 2 max with FFM remained significant (p < 0.001). Muscle strength was significantly associated with FM (p = 0.036) and FFM (p < 0.001) after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions. high FM was associated with poor CrF, and low fat-free mass was related to poor muscle strength. FM and FFM can be good indices for CrF fitness in adults. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.
