Current knowledge on the prognosis of metabolically healthy but obese phenotype is limited due to exclusive use body mass index define obesity and lack information cardiorespiratory fitness. We aimed test following hypotheses: (i) individuals have a higher fitness level than their abnormal peers; (ii) after accounting for fitness, benign condition, in terms cardiovascular disease mortality. Fitness was assessed by maximal exercise treadmill fat per cent (BF%) hydrostatic weighing or...

The authors’ aim in this cross-sectional study was to characterize levels of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time adolescents from 9 European countries. comprised 2,200 (1,184 girls) participating the HELENA (2006–2008). Physical by accelerometry expressed as average intensity (counts/minute) amount (minutes/day) spent engaging moderate- vigorous-intensity (MVPA). Time behaviors also measured. Cardiorespiratory fitness means 20-m shuttle run test. Level maternal...
