(1) To develop reference values for health-related fitness in European children and adolescents aged 6-18 years that are the foundation web-based, open-access multilanguage platform (FitBack); (2) to provide comparisons across countries.This study builds on a previous large youth by widening age demographic, identifying most recent representative country-level data (3) including national from existing surveillance monitoring systems. We used Assessing Levels of PHysical Activity at...
Abstract Large epidemiological studies that use accelerometers for physical behavior and sleep assessment differ in the location of accelerometer attachment signal aggregation metric chosen. This study aimed to assess comparability acceleration metrics between commonly-used body-attachment locations 24 hours, waking sleeping test PA cut points dominant non-dominant wrist. Forty-five young adults (23 women, 18–41 years) were included GT3X + (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL, USA) placed on their...
Importance Childhood obesity is a risk factor associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental disorders later in life. Investigation of the parallel effects defined exercise program on cardiometabolic health children overweight or may provide new insights potential benefits overall health. Objective To investigate 20-week obesity. Design, Setting, Participants This secondary analysis parallel-group randomized clinical trial was conducted Granada, Spain, from November 1,...
To investigate the association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity with cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers independently adiposity levels; to explore role cardiorespiratory fitness in these associations children overweight/obesity. A total 109 aged 8-11 years overweight/obesity were included this cross-sectional study. SDB was assessed using a scale reduce version Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire. Cardiometabolic fasting blood lipids biomarkers (i.e., low- high-density...
Background/Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) children and adolescent cancer survivors in relation previously published normative values for typically developing adolescents, as well analyze differences HRQoL based on their levels physical activity fitness. Methods: Cross-sectional with 116 (12.1 ± 3.3 years, 57.8% boys) from two pediatric oncology units Andalusia (Spain). was assessed using PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales. Physical measured...
Pediatric cancer survivors remain at increased risk of low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) after treatment. We investigated the effects a 9-month online bone-strengthening exercise intervention on femoral neck aBMD Z-score (primary outcome), and other health parameters measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry hip, total body, lumbar spine in young pediatric survivors. A 116 participants were randomized into or control groups (N = 58 each). The group performed periodized...
Pediatric cancer survivors are at increased risk of muscle weakness and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD). However, the prevalence strength deficits is not well documented, associations with aBMD unknown in this population. Therefore, study aimed to investigate upper- lower-body examine age-, sex, race-specific Z-scores total body, hip, femoral neck, lumbar spine.

To examine the associations of self-perceived and objectively-measured physical fitness with psychological well-being distress indicators in young pediatric cancer survivors.A total 116 participants (12.1 ± 3.3 years, 56.9% boys) from iBoneFIT project participated this cross-sectional study. Objectively-measured (muscular fitness) was obtained by handgrip strength standing long jump tests for upper lower body, respectively. Self-perceived International Fitness Scale (IFIS). Positive negative...
Abstract Background New approaches on paediatric cancer treatment aim to maintain long-term health. As a result of radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery, survivors tend suffer from any chronic health condition. Endocrine dysfunction represents one the most common issues and affects bone Exercise is key for mass accrual during growth, specifically plyometric jump training. The iBoneFIT study will investigate effect 9-month online exercise programme in survivors. This also examine intervention...
Aim Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have more risk of bone fractures. However, areal mineral density (aBMD) by conventional dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is not useful for identifying this risk. This study aims to evaluate 3D-DXA parameters determining the cortical and trabecular compartments in patients T2DM compared non-diabetic subjects identify their determinants. Materials methods Case-control 111 (65.4 ± 7.6 years old) 134 controls (64.7 8.6-year-old). DXA, modelling via...
The association between vitamin D [25(OH)D] and bone health has been widely studied in children. Given that 25(OH)D are associated with muscular fitness, this could be the cornerstone to understand relationship. Hence, purpose of work was examine if relation areal mineral density (aBMD) mediated by fitness children overweight/obesity. Eighty-one (8-11 years, 53 boys) overweight/obesity were included. Body composition measured dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), plasma samples assessed...
This study investigated the effect of a 3-km walking test (3kWT) carrying different military equipment on shooting performance, rating perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), and time. The relative combat wear backpack weight (as percentage soldier's body [%BW]) was reported and, along with HR, its relationship to marksmanship variables tested. Thirty-nine Spanish Army males walked as fast possible complete 3kWT in following conditions randomized order: unloaded walking; wearing uniform;...
We investigated the interaction between a genetic score and an exercise intervention on brain health in children with overweight/obesity. One hundred one overweight/obesity (10.0 ± 1.5 yr, 59% girls) were randomized into 20-wk combined or control group. Several cognitive academic outcomes measured validated tests. Hippocampal volume was quantified using magnetic resonance imaging. Six health-related polymorphisms [rs6265 (BDNF), rs2253206 (CREB1), rs2289656 (NTRK2), rs4680 (COMT), rs429358,...
ABSTRACT Purpose We aimed to examine the associations of 24-h movement behaviors (moderate vigorous physical activity [MVPA], light [LPA], sedentary behavior [SB], and sleep) with age-, sex-, race-specific areal bone mineral density (aBMD) z -score parameters at clinical sites in young pediatric cancer survivors. Methods This cross-sectional multicenter study was carried out within iBoneFIT framework which 116 survivors (12.1 ± 3.3 yr old; 42% female) were recruited. obtained anthropometric...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are prevalent musculoskeletal complications after paediatric cancer treatment. However, their relationship has not been examined in young cancers survivors. This study aimed to evaluate aBMD differences according sarcopenia status the risk of Z ‐score survivors with confirmed/probable. Methods cross‐sectional included 116 (12.1 ± 3.3 years old; 42.2% female). Handgrip strength was used assessed muscle strength....
The skeleton is regulated by and responds to pituitary hormones, especially when the circulating levels are perturbed in disease. This study aims analyse between-group differences 3D dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) parameters at hip site among patients with acromegaly or adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) a healthy control group. current cross-sectional includes data for 67 adults, 20 acromegaly, 14 AGHD 33 controls. We obtained areal bone mineral density (aBMD) outcomes using DXA...
Adipokines seem to play a role in bone morphogenesis, although this also depends on the mechanical forces applied skeleton. The aim was assess relationships of resting leptin and adiponectin with parameters whether high muscular fitness levels affect these children overweight or obesity.This cross-sectional study took part from 2014 2016 Granada, Spain. Participants were recruited University Hospitals, we used advertisements local media school contacts city. analysed plasma. Muscular...
