(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...

Background Physical activity (PA) is associated with health enhancement. The aim of this study was to assess: 1) levels and patterns PA in university students by using accelerometers; 2) the percentage fulfilment recommendations for adults, according different public guidelines. Methods Observational cross-sectional (Cuenca’s Adults Study) involving 296 (206 women) healthy Spanish aged 18–25 years old. Participants wore ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer seven consecutive days. Total PA, steps...

We aimed to (a) examine the validity and reliability of I nternational F Itness S cale ( IFIS ) in panish young adults (b) compare capacity self‐reported vs measured fitness predict cardiovascular disease CVD risk. The study comprised 276 participants (18–30 years). Fitness level (overall specific components) was both using standard tests. Total trunk fat assessed by dual‐energy X ‐ray absorptiometry. computed a previously validated metabolic syndrome score. A separate sample 181 same age...

The relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well known, although the extent to which body weight may act as a confounder or mediator in this uncertain. aim of study was examine whether association CRF cardiometabolic risk factors mediated by BMI.A cross-sectional including 1,158 schoolchildren aged 8-11 years from province Cuenca, Spain, undertaken. We measured height, weight, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, fasting plasma lipid profile...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Physical fitness is considered an important indicator of health in children. The aims this study were to (1) provide sex‐ and age‐specific EUROFIT battery levels Spanish children; (2) compare children's with those children from other countries; (3) determine the percentage cardiovascular risk associated low cardiorespiratory (CRF). METHODS was assessed using tests 1725 children, aged 6 12, Castilla‐La Mancha, Spain. We derived specific values for physical LMS method....

OBJECTIVE We used confirmatory factor analysis to test whether a single might explain the clustering of metabolic syndrome (MS) components in children. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS studied 1,020 children aged 10–13 years from 20 schools Cuenca, Spain. The single-factor model included: waist circumference (WC), fasting insulin, triglyceride HDL cholesterol ratio (Triglyl/HDL-C), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). standardized scores four variables were develop continuous MS index. RESULTS...

We aimed to examine (a) the construct validity and reliability of I nternational F itness S cale ( IFIS ) in children; (b) association both self‐reported measured fitness with cardiometabolic risk. Cross‐sectional study 1145 panish children (9–12 years). body fat, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipids, insulin, level (reported measured). A validated syndrome index was used. An age‐ sex‐matched sample 245 originally not included fulfilled twice for purposes. able correctly classify...

Studies that have examined the impact of a physical activity intervention on cardiometabolic risk factors yielded conflicting results. The objective this study was to assess standardized program adiposity and in schoolchildren. Cluster randomized trial 712 schoolchildren, 8–10 years, from 20 public schools Province Cuenca, Spain. (MOVI-2) consisted play-based non-competitive activities. MOVI-2 conducted during two 90-minute sessions weekdays one 150-minute session Saturday mornings every...
