The measurement of physical fitness has a history that dates back nearly 200 years. Recently, there been an increase in international research and surveillance on creating need for setting priorities could help guide future efforts.This study aimed to produce list the top 10 among children adolescents.Using twin-panel Delphi method, two independent panels consisting 46 experts were identified (panel 1 = 28, panel 2 18). participants asked up five or (round 1), then rated items from their own...
Physical fitness (PF) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet are important indicators of healthy lifestyles. The purpose this study is analyze independent combined associations between PF with health-related quality life (HRQoL) in adolescents.This a cross-sectional analysis 956 Portuguese adolescents aged 12-18 years. HRQoL was measured Kidscreen-10 questionnaire. assessed ALPHA battery. 20-m shuttle run test used for estimation cardiorespiratory fitness; handgrip strength standing long...
Normal-weight obesity (NWO) has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, little is known regarding this potential relationship in early adulthood. The aim of study was investigate the associations between NWO and risk factors a large population Colombian young adults. A cross-sectional conducted on 1354 subjects (61% women), aged from 18 30. Anthropometric data, including body mass index (BMI) waist circumference (WC), were estimated, percentage fat measured...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been considered a reference method for measuring body fat percentage (BF%) in children and adolescents with an excess of adiposity. However, given that the DXA technique is impractical routine field use, there need to investigate other methods can accurately determine BF%. We studied accuracy bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, including foot-to-foot hand-to-foot impedance, Slaughter skinfold-thickness equations measurement BF%,...
Objective . To systematically review the evidence available on effects of art therapy and music interventions in patients with breast cancer. Design Systematic search was conducted PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Central databases. Articles were scanned using following keywords: “art therapy” or “music “breast cancer” neoplasms,” carcinoma,” tumor,” “mammary cancer.” Only RCTs published English, a control group experimental group, presenting pre‐/post‐therapy results included. PRISMA guidelines for...
Body image (BI) plays a critical role in mental health, with negative perceptions often linked to feelings of low mood. Physical activity (PA) has been shown enhance self-acceptance and reduce emotions, suggesting it may help mitigate the impact BI on This study examines relationship between mood among adolescents, explores PA as mediator this relationship. The had cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 154,183 adolescents (average age 13.6 ± 1.6 years) across 43 countries, using...
This study explored the association between ideal cardiovascular health behaviors (ICHBs) and mental well-being in Baltic adolescents using data from 2018 HBSC survey. ICHBs included smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, healthy diet adherence. Mental low mood, irritability, nervousness, sleep difficulties, while life satisfaction self-reported health. Multi-regression analyses were performed. The 12,934 (mean age: 13.6 ± 1.6 years). Non-smokers, non-overweight individuals,...
Normal-weight obesity (NWO) syndrome has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, little is known regarding this potential relationship in Latin American children and adolescents. The aim of study was two-fold: (i) investigate whether Colombian youth NWO have a poorer profile physical fitness performance than normal-weight lean (NWL) peers; (ii) determine if levels are related prevalence youth. This an analytical cross-sectional 1919 youths (9–179 years old,...
Background: Recently, the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio has been suggested as a novel predictor of cardio-metabolic and other chronic diseases. Aim: To evaluate ability leptin (L), adiponectin (A), L/A in identifying high risk insulin resistance IR adolescents, adjusted by cardiorespiratory fitness, adherence to Mediterranean diet, body fat percentage. Subjects methods: This is cross-sectional analysis with 529 adolescents aged 12−18 years-old. Blood samples were taken analyze glucose,...
This study aimed to evaluate the associations between muscular fitness and inflammatory biomarkers investigate relationship selected clustered in adolescents. is a cross‐sectional analysis with 529 adolescents (267 girls) aged 12‐18 years. Handgrip strength standing long jump tests assessed MF . Continuous scores of (sum Z ‐scores C‐reactive protein [ CRP ], C3, C4, fibrinogen, leptin); metabolic risk factor ( MRF ) score SBP , triglycerides, ratio total cholesterol TC ]/ HDL HOMA ‐ IR waist...
There is increasing recognition that sleep a risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of the present study was to analyze relationship between self-reported duration, sleep-related problems and presence MetS in children adolescents from Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. This cross-sectional analysis FUPRECOL (2014–15). Participants included 2779 (54.2% girls) youth Bogota (Colombia). defined as ≥3 abnormalities (hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol...
