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...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects Bafa Wubu Tai Chi (BW-TC) and traditional He-style (TH-TC) exercises on physical health risk factors in overweight male college students compare effectiveness two exercise forms improving these factors. Methods: Eighty-one university between ages 18 23 were randomly assigned a 1:1:1 ratio BW-TC group, TH-TC control group (CG). training consisted 12 weeks, three times week, for 60 min per session. CG attended lectures maintained their normal...
This study investigated the association of six different anthropometric markers with metabolic syndrome to find most suited predict children at risk. Sample comprises 1324 Portuguese youth (701 girls, 623 boys), aged 10‐17 years. Six were included: body mass index (BMI), BMI z‐score, tri‐ponderal (TPI), waist circumference (WC), WC/height ratio (WC/H), and WC/H adjusted (WC/H adj ). A standardized risk score (zMR) was computed by summing values for fasting glucose, triglycerides,...
This study aimed to compare the effects of 12-week Bafa Wubu Tai Chi (BW-TC) and traditional He-style (TH-TC) exercise training on physical fitness parameters in overweight university students differences their effects. A total 81 male were randomly assigned BW-TC group (N = 27), TH-TC control (CG, N 27). Upper limb grip strength, wall squat, sitting reaching, 6-minute walk, single-leg stance, Y-balance measured at baseline after 12 weeks training. There no significant demographic...
The mounting evidence that sufficient physical activity is important for health in adolescents has sparked a number of studies seeking to identify the correlates this age group. However, focus on factors influencing sport participation (SP) limited. PURPOSE: present study examines association between demographic (age, gender and socio-economic status (SES)) socio-cultural (SP family, peers educator influences) SP adolescents. METHODS: A random sample 3352 Portuguese from 10 18 years age,...
Physical fitness has been reported as an important health marker. Tracking health-related physical (HRPF) during childhood is issue in order to provide a better knowledge about its (in)stability. PURPOSE: Determine the tracking of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility tests, primarily using Prudential Fitnessgram HRPF, children followed longitudinally from 6 10 years age. METHODS: Data were retained 285 primary school (142 girls 143 boys). Children four main...
Ecological approach suggests that physical activity (PA) is the result of interactions between individuals and environmental factors, where school conditions and/or environments can be seen as efficient venues for promoting PA among children. PURPOSE: To identify student- school-level correlates responsible inter-individual variability in Portuguese METHODS: levels characteristics were collected 1079 children (aged 6 to 10 years) both gender (515 girls 564 boys) 24 primary schools from North...
Health-related physical fitness (HRPF) and psychosocial behaviors have been associated with several health outcomes. However, it is not clear whether activity (PA) and/or HRPF are more important in preventing overweight obesity youth. PURPOSE: To assess the effects of demographic factors (age gender), PA, sedentary behavior (Television viewing) prevalence Portuguese METHODS: A cross-sectional study sampled 7170 students both gender (3705 females 3465 males), aged 10 to 18 years old. Body...
Background: COVID-19 restrictions have further reduced college students’ opportunities for physical activity (PA), and problems related to physiological health of students become increasingly serious. Studying the effect Tai Chi (TC) on body composition heart rate variability can provide insights into potential benefits TC as a form exercise. Objectives: The aim this study was assess effects 6-week 24-forms Yang-style (YTC) (HRV) among students. Materials methods: This single-arm,...
The aims of this pilot study were to use various muscular strength and performance evaluation procedures assess the preliminary responses from young Thai male athletes training programs, apply data quality control reliability. Sixteen aged 13-17 years Khon Kaen Sport School sampled: eight soccer players track field athletes. Subjects divided into two groups: a complex group (n = 8) resistance 8). intervention program was applied twice week during weeks. Maximum strength, anaerobic power,...
Objective: To summarize the influence of strength training, plyometric and complex training programs on gains, physical performance injury occurrence in children adolescents boys aged 8 to 17 years.Design: Twenty-three experimental were selected (from 2000 2010): 11 related resistance training; 1 assesses physiological adaptations following invervention study; 2 are meta-analysis 7 relates plyometry; concern training.Main results: Resistance showed highly maximum improvement enhance motor...
