The purposes of this research were to study the convergent validity Mode and Frequency Commuting To From School Questionnaire using objectively assessed steps time spent in different physical activity intensities compare self-reported versus objective journey Spanish youths.Three hundred eighty-nine youth aged 7-19 years asked complete questionnaire wore an accelerometer for five days. commuting distance from home school estimated Google MapsTM.There significant differences between passive...
The Assessing Levels of Physical Activity (ALPHA) health-related fitness test battery is a set reliable, valid, and feasible tests to assess physical in children adolescents. aim this study was examine the reliability adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). extended ALPHA performed twice within 1 month 17 apparently healthy adolescents, aged 12-18 years, DS who had an intelligence quotient ≥ 35. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) used determinate test-retest reliability, nonparametric...
Self-rated health (SRH) is an independent determinant for all-cause mortality. We aimed to examine the and combined associations of components physical fitness with SRH at baseline (cross-sectional) two years later (longitudinal) in children adolescents. Spanish youth (N = 1378) aged 8 17.9 participated baseline. The dropout rate 2-year follow-up was 19.5% (n 270). Participants were categorized as either (8 11.9 age) or adolescents (12 age). ALPHA health- related test battery used assess...

To examine the association of maternal physical activity before and during pregnancy with academic performance in youth.This study included 1868 youth (6-18 years) their mothers. Mothers recalled pregnancy. were categorized into four groups: "remained active", "became inactive", active" inactive". Academic was assessed through school records.Boys whose mothers practiced or had significantly higher scores indicators independently activity, fitness, current body mass index (BMI) birthweight...
"Obesity" is considered a feature of youth with DS but whether "low physical fitness" also unknown.The aim this case-control study was to compare the levels fatness and fitness in adolescents without DS.Participants included 17 (5 girls) aged 12-18 years control group 94 (45 12-16 years. The ALPHA health-related test battery for children selected assess both groups.There were no differences between groups (all P > 0.27). Adolescents had lower all tests than < 0.001).Adolescents have similar...
The aim of this study is to compare the levels physical activity and sedentary behaviours in children with obesity normal weight through accelerometer measures, analyze family environment related activity.
The aims of this study were (i) to examine the sedentary time (ST) during different periods [i.e., weekend, out-of-school weekdays hours, school recess, physical education classes (PEC)] in children and adolescents; (ii) identify 2-year longitudinal changes ST for these periods; (iii) if at baseline is associated with 2 years later. This was a follow-up 826 (51.9% boys) 678 (50.7% adolescents. Accelerometers used assess ST. Students spent more than 60% their hours During periods, girls...
Abstract To examine whether physical activity can mitigate the mortality risk associated with disability in activities of daily living and instrumental among older adults. This analysis comprised 177,360 US participants (104,556 women), aged ≥ 60 years, valid data from 1997 through 2018 waves National Health Interview Survey. Participants reported frequency duration leisure-time PA, their disabilities living. Mortality were obtained Death Index. Over a mean (SD) follow-up 8.02 (5.43) 66,694...
The aim of this study was to identify potential correlates sedentary time and television (TV) viewing in youth with Down syndrome (DS). A total 98 adolescents DS (63 males) aged 11-20 years old participated study. Total measured using accelerometers, while TV were proxy-report questionnaire. Analyses covariance a stepwise multiple linear regression performed examine time. Different associated (mother age, mother time, perceived benefits physical activity, birth order having nearby shops the...
Abstract Background It is a priority to understand that physical activity behaviour over time in Down syndrome population order design and promote succesfull interventions maintain or increase levels of activity. We aimed study 1 2‐year changes objectively measured among relatively large sample adolescents with syndrome. Methods This comprised total 99 (38 girls) aged from 11 20 years old at baseline. Participants valid accelerometer data baseline least one the follow‐up visits were included...
Correlates of physical activity (PA) have not been explored in adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). Understanding correlates PA could provide information to develop strategies increase levels this target population.The aim study was identify potential DS.Information about and their collected 98 DS (63 males, aged 11-20 years) using accelerometers proxy-reported questionnaires. Analysis covariance multiple linear regression analyses were conducted examine PA.Our findings showed that...
The aim was to investigate the association of (i) parental, sibling, and friend coparticipation in physical activity (PA); (ii) independent mobility (IM) for walking, cycling, taking public transport with objectively measured nonschool PA on week- weekend days different school grades.A total 1376 Spanish youngsters (50.8% boys; mean age 11.96 ± 2.48 years) participated study. Participants reported frequency their best them IM transport. by accelerometry.Coparticipation were more frequently...
Abstract Background The main objective of this study was to describe the inflammatory status adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and their relationship adiposity. Methods Ninety‐five DS (44.2% girls) a control group 113 (47.8% girls), aged between 11 18 years old, from UP & DOWN were included in substudy. Serum C‐reactive protein, C3 C4 complement factors, total proteins, interleukin‐6, tumour necrosis factor‐α, insulin, cortisol, leptin, adiponectin, galactin‐3 visfatin analysed;...
Background: Adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) demonstrate higher values of body composition and lower levels physical fitness when compared their peers typically developing (TD) or intellectual disability but without DS. Objective: To examine, during a 2-year period, changes in indicators components TD adolescents Methods: Hundred DS (64 males) aged 11-20 years old were matched by sex to 163 (108 12-18. Indicators determined mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio,...
