The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between body adiposity and physical fitness with performance in Supine-to-Stand test (STS-test) sedentary adolescents.Sixty-two adolescents, both sexes, 10 16 years old, participated study. Body mass (BM), height, waist circumference (WC), fat (FM), fat-free (FFM), right left handgrip strength (HGS-right, HGS-left), abdominal resistance (ABDO), flexibility (FLEX), cardiorespiratory (VO2peak) were measured. index (BMI), z-score BMI (BMI-z), tri-ponderal (TMI) waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) calculated. STS-test applied evaluate STS-MC by movement patterns execution test. STS-time seconds (s) categorized into terciles: fast (FG < 2.0 s), intermediate (IG = 2.0-2.6 s) slow (SG > 2.6 s). One-way ANOVA, Chi-square, Spearman's correlation coefficient as well non-parametric tests used, significance p ≤ 0.05.The SG presented higher BMI, BMI-z, TMI, WHtR, FM, %FM, lower averages for %FFM, HGS-right, HGS-left, FLEX, ABDO, VO2peak, VO2peak relative BM (VO2peakBM) relation GF. WC, WHtR FM showed moderate direct correlations inverse (p 0.01). VO2peakBM an 0.05). 0.01).It is concluded that excess low hamper performance. Therefore, can be used screening students assess MC.
