Introduction: Motor competence (MC) is essential for motor development and an active lifestyle. However, adolescents with excess weight face challenges like low physical fitness cardiometabolic alterations that affect MC. While high-intensity functional training (HIFT) improves reduces risks, its effects on MC remain underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different types in adolescents. Methodology: The sample had 46 both sexes, aged 10 16 years, distributed...

Background The proportion of arterial hypertension (AH) has increased in children and adolescents is associated with several comorbidities. Objective To verify the association central general obesity as well according to level physical activity schoolchildren. Methods 336 aged 11 17 participated study. Height, body weight, waist circumference (WC) blood pressure (BP) were measured. mass index z-score (BMI-z) was calculated. assessed by short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire...

This study aimed to develop new prediction models from directly determined peak of oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in adolescents using 20-metre shuttle run test (20 m-SR) and compare the with previously published equations. included 148 (43% girls), aged 13.37 ± 1.84 years old. Adolescents were randomly assigned validation (n = 91) cross-validation 57) groups. VO2peak was measured a gas analyser both maximal exercise tests laboratory as well by 20 m-SR. The multiple linear regression method applied...

Abstract Background Adiponectin is an anti-inflammatory cytokine secreted by adipose tissue, has been associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic risk, controversial results muscular fitness. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction 1-minute abdominal test in relationship between adiposity, body composition, risk adiponectin concentration adolescents. Methods This a cross-sectional conducted 62 adolescents both sexes, aged 11 16 years, approved Ethics Committee Research Humans...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased and is associated with the development several chronic diseases. Moderate-intensity continuous training recommended as main exercise method for treating obesity. However, in overweight obese individuals, high-intensity interval models have similar or greater fat reduction potential than moderate-intensity training. Objective: This study aimed to compare effects 12 weeks on cardiometabolic parameters, body composition,...

Recently, doubts have been raised concerning the validity of 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT) to predict cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in youth. Despite these doubts, authors continue provide powerful evidence that CRF can be predicted reliably using 20mSRT albeit contrasting models. Therefore, we aimed compare a new linear model with an alternative allometric (peak oxygen uptake, V˙O2peak) 20mSRT.The study included 148 adolescents (43% girls) age 13.37 ± 1.84 yr. Adolescents were randomly...

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between body adiposity and physical fitness with performance in Supine-to-Stand test (STS-test) sedentary adolescents.Sixty-two adolescents, both sexes, 10 16 years old, participated study. Body mass (BM), height, waist circumference (WC), fat (FM), fat-free (FFM), right left handgrip strength (HGS-right, HGS-left), abdominal resistance (ABDO), flexibility (FLEX), cardiorespiratory (VO2peak) were measured. index (BMI), z-score BMI...
