“…In female senior high school adolescents, participating in EC activities is associated with improvements in levels of CVD risk factors. The United States Department of Health and Human Services has called for an expansion of school-based EC sports programs to address the obesity epidemic [16,17]. The present study reinforces the premise that participation in school-based EC physical activities has a considerable impact on the levels of multiple CVD risk factors in adolescents.…”

“…In females, these values were 108 minutes (95% CI; 91, 129 minutes) in subjects who participated in EC physical activities and 9 minutes (95% CI; 8, 12 minutes) in those who did not participate.

Aim:The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the lifestyles of adolescents and their parents on the levels of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in the adolescents. Methods: A total of 755 volunteers (331 male, 424 female) aged 15 to 18 years were included. Abdominal obesity, hypertension, elevated triglyceride levels, decreased high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, and hyperglycemia were considered to be CV risk factors. Self-reported lifestyle, including participation in school-based extracurricular (EC) physical activities, time spent on physical activity or watching television (TV), and average daily food intake were assessed. Parental information on weight status and lifestyle was also obtained. Results: Multivariate regression analyses showed that participation in EC physical activities, time spent watching TV, regular breakfast consumption, total energy intake, fiber intake per 1,000 Kcal, and parental BMI were independently associated with the levels of one or more CV risk factors in adolescents. Among these, participation in EC physical activities had a profound effect on adolescent CV risk factor levels. The risk of male adolescent obesity was associated with paternal obesity, but not with maternal obesity. Conversely, the risk of female adolescent obesity was associated with maternal obesity but not with paternal obesity. Conclusions: Participation in EC physical activities may be the first-line approach for adolescents to maintain favorable CV risk factor levels. An association between paternal or maternal obesity and adolescent obesity differs between adolescent genders in Japan; thus, approaches focusing on parents should take the gender of the adolescent into consideration. Obesity is associated with a cluster of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, including abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which have collectively been termed metabolic syndrome in both children and adults 3,4) . It is well known that the development of CV risk factors, including obesity, is associated with adverse behavioral patterns, such as decreased physical activity [5][6][7][8] , increased sedentary lifestyle, in particular television (TV) watching [8][9][10][11] , and unhealthy dietary habits 5,[11][12][13][14][15][16] . Parental obesity is also strongly associated IntroductionThe prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing rapidly, and the ongoing obesity epidemic represents a major public health burden worldwide with CV risk factors in children and adolescents 9,10) . Comprehensive analysis that takes all these factors into account is needed to determine the appropriate approach for the prevention of CV diseases 16) ; however, the impact of each of the different lifestyle factors on individual CV risk factors in adolescents is not well known.Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of lifestyles of adolescents and their parents on the levels of CV risk factors in adolescents based on data from adolescent volunteers.

“…16,17 Additionally, minimal research has focused on the relationship between physical activity and overweight specifically in children with ASD, although it has been suggested that barriers to physical activity in this group may be related to elevated risk for obesity. 18 Similarly, research has not produced consistent findings on whether autism severity is related to overweight. Ho and colleagues found diagnosis severity to be positively associated with obesity, 17 while Memari and colleagues found overall symptom severity, as well as severity of symptoms in the specific areas of sociability and health and physical behavior, was inversely related to BMI.…”
