Introduction: Physical fitness (PF) is recognized as a crucial element for fostering various health and performance benefits in children adolescents. Although PF determined by genetic environmental factors, little known about the degree of influence these factors on expression among siblings. Objective: This study aims to examine sibling resemblance components well estimate individual contextual Brazilian children. Methodology: The sample comprised 784 pairs siblings (405 boys; 5-15 years),...

Children change their body size, shape, and gross motor coordination (GMC) as they grow. Further, GMC is expected to link changes in children's physical activity (PA), fitness (PF). The objective was model children followed longitudinally investigate associations between these PA PF levels. A total of 245 (122 girls) were observed at 6 years age annually until 9 years. sequence allometric models fitted, that is, 1. mass, stature, PA; 2. addition four tests; 3. more tests. In Model 1, are...

Abstract There is only limited evidence to suggest that training during childhood produces greater adaptations than at other ages. The aim of this study was examine the effects plyometric (12 weeks, twice/week, 20 min/day) on physical fitness (PF) and gross motor coordination (GMC) in schoolboys aged 7–9 years. A total 116 boys were assigned two groups: group (PT, n = 73) control (CG, 43). CG maintained their normal daily activities. PT consisted twice‐weekly exercises nonconsecutive days...

Abstract Youth swimming performance may be influenced by anthropometric and body composition factors during growth. Propulsive force of the arm (PFA) is highly related to as 85–90% propulsive power comes from arms. The current study analyzed mediating effect biological maturation on relationship between variables with PFA in young swimmers. A total 128 swimmers [boys: n = 53, age 13.6 (1.8) y; girls: 75, 12.5 y] were evaluated. was estimated tethered test. Anthropometric characteristics...

Abstract Purpose The provision of clinically assisted hydration (CAH) in patients with advanced cancer is controversial, and there a paucity specific guidance so diversity clinical practice. Consequently, the Palliative Care Study Group Multinational Association Supportive Cancer (MASCC) formed sub-group to develop evidence-based on use CAH cancer. Methods This was developed accordance MASCC Guidelines Policy. A search strategy for Medline developed, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews...

Abstract Objective: The main goal of this study was to verify the influence low birth weight (LBW) on physical fitness children aged 7–10 years. comparisons were subsequently adjusted for chronological age, gender, activity (PA), and body composition. Methods: A total 356 both genders born in Vitoria de Santo Antão (Northeast Brazil) divided into two groups according their (LBW < 2.500 g, n = 100, normal weight, NBW ≥ 3.000 g ≤ 3.999 256). Body composition measurements included height,...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between anthropometric variables, body composition and propulsive force in swimmers aged 9-17 years. Anthropometric characteristics (body height mass, sitting height, arm span, muscle area composition) (tethered swimming test) were evaluated 56 competitive male swimmers. Tanner's stages genital maturation (P1-5) used. data analysis included correlations multiple linear regression. correlated with (r = 0.34; p =0.013), span 0.29; =0.042),...

Aim The aim of this study was to analyse the influence birthweight on motor performance and body composition in children. Further, we investigated whether associations between changed after adjustment for current height, mass index ( BMI ), fat‐free FFM % fat. Method A total 483 children (251 males 232 females) aged 7 10 years (mean 8.78, SD 1.0y) born Vitória Santo Antão (northeast Brazil) were sampled. Motor operationalized using different physical fitness components gross coordination....

Background: Despite the positive effects of high-intensity training on weight management and health-related outcomes, it is postulated that may also induce oxidative stress, increasing hepatic damage. Aim: The aim this study was to compare low versus biomarkers related non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adolescents with obesity. Methods: For 107 (15 ± 1 years) obesity (BMI = 34.7 4.1 kg/m 2 ) were randomized into High-Intensity Training (HIT, n 31), Low-Intensity (LIT, 31) or...

To analyze the association of exercises and physical activity with perception sleep quality by adolescents.This is a cross-sectional epidemiological survey statewide coverage, whose sample was composed 6,261 adolescents (14-19 years old) who were selected random sampling conglomerates. The Global School-Based Student Health Survey questionnaire used for data collection. chi-square test binary logistic regression applied analyses.In sample, 29% did not exercise classified as physically...

The purpose of the current article was to use allometric models identify best body size descriptors and other anthropometric variables, composition, offset maturity that might be associated with youngsters’ 50m personal-best (PB) swim speeds (m·s-1). Eighty-five competitive swimmers (male, n=50; 13.5±1.8 y; female, n=35; 12.6±1.8 y) participated in this study. Height, mass, sitting height, arm span, skinfolds, muscle area (AMA), were assessed. Swimming performance taken as PB time recorded...

Improvement in swimming performance involves the dynamic alignment of body liquid, technical skill, anthropometric characteristics athletes, and ability to develop propulsive force. The aim this study was assess relationships between force during arm muscle area (AMA) propose an equation estimate young swimmers by measuring their AMA.Study participants were 28 male (14 ± 1.28 years) registered Brazilian Federation Aquatic Sports.
