From a young age, children learn different motor skills known as fundamental skills. The acquisition of these is crucial for the future development context-tailored actions that could improve adherence to physical activity (PA) practice. Motor competence and function deficits have been associated with pediatric obesity. We reviewed literature data regarding in pediatrics impaired performance adolescents
Background/Objectives: Hip and knee arthroplasty relieves pain, restores mobility, improves function in severe joint damage, though pain strength loss may persist post-surgery. Better pre-surgery activity predict improved outcomes. Prehabilitation programs enhance functional abilities, reducing hospitalization duration, lowering peri-surgery complication risks. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of four weeks different modalities tele-home-prehabilitation on perceived capacity patients...
AimsCoronavirus disease (Covid-19) could lead persons with pre-existing medical conditions to severe respiratory infections. The Italian Government introduced quarantine limit viral transmission. This measure people type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) disrupt daily care routine including PA practice difficulties in glycemia management. study aims explore level PWT1D before and during describe variation values.MethodsAn online survey investigating factors the perceived pre-established period after...

COVID-19 restrictions have dramatically reduced the active lifestyle and physical activity (PA) levels in whole population, a situation that can contribute to weight gain develop obesity. To improve fitness (PF) children with obesity during restrictions, sport specialists started deliver training through tele-exercise. For these reasons, aim of this study was evaluate effects 12-week online supervised program on different PF components PA levels. We enrolled total 40 Caucasian (9 F/31 M;...
Children with obesity tend to have lower level of physical activity compared non-obese peers. In fact, sedentary behaviors are prevalent in obese children causing difficulties perform motor tasks and engaging sport activities. This, turn, has direct repercussions on adiposity related comorbidities. The aim the study was investigate several components fitness their relationship degree fatness children. We considered 485 Italian schoolchildren (9.5 ± 1.12 years). BMI prediction modelling...
Lower limb explosive strength has been widely used to evaluate physical fitness and general health in children. A plethora of studies have scoped the practicality standing broad jump (SBJ), though without accounting for body dimensions, which are tremendously affected by growth. This study aimed at modeling SBJ-specific allometric equations, underlying an objectively predictive approach while controlling maturity offset (MO). total 7317 children (8–11 years) were tested their SBJs;...
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of spine and trunk with higher incidence in girls. AIS alters reduces postural control balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate curve subjects. We aimed evaluate the effects SCM on balance adolescents new instrumentation. Methods: A total 38 girls were recruited. To acute oscillations center pressure (COP), we used LiDAR technology combined stabilometric platform...
Physical activity (PA) is a crucial factor in preventing and treating obesity related complications. In this one-arm pre–post longitudinal prospective study, we evaluated the effects of 12-week online supervised training program on cardiac morphology, function blood pressure (BP) children with obesity. The consisted three sessions per week, each lasting 60 min. Advanced echocardiographic imaging (tissue Doppler strain analysis) was used to detect subclinical changes heart function....
Evidence regarding a putative physical fitness decline remains less well documented for Italian children and adolescents. An update review of data collection articles was undertaken concerning motor performances (power, strength, speed-agility indirect cardiorespiratory fitness) adolescents worldwide compared with 2859 11-12-year-old students both sexes, throughout ten-year observational period. Lower limb explosive strength (standing broad jump), flexibility (sit-and-reach), endurance...
Speed agility is considered as the whole assessment of speed movement, and coordination. The 10x4m test has been broadly used to evaluate physical fitness overall health in children developmental ages. A myriad studies have investigated ecology (SA). However, body dimensions are rarely appraised, this a weakness because shapes affected by growth.This study aimed model SA-specific allometric equations, develop an approach objectively predictive for performance while controlling maturity...
Physical fitness (PF) is a marker of health in children. Muscular strength and speed-agility PF components play crucial role musculoskeletal development bone health. The outbreaks COVID-19 pandemic changed the daily sports activities younger increasing sedentary habits with detrimental effect on PF. We aimed to investigate impact restrictions Italian school-aged children.We recruited 286 elementary school children, they were tested through an internationally validated battery test, which...

Better pre-surgery activity predict improved outcomes. Prehabilitation programs enhance functional abilities, reducing hospitalization duration, lowering peri-surgery complication risks.

Limited knowledge exists regarding the effectiveness of training programmes for individuals with Down syndrome, particularly innovative approaches like tele-coaching. Our pilot study aimed to improve strength and balance using tele-coaching sessions in children syndrome. We enrolled 18 adolescents (aged 9-17 years) The intervention consisted a programme based on games was conducted remotely through an online platform (e-gym) 3 days per week (15 weeks). Participants engaged playful activities...
The aims of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness an online supervised training program in modulating lipid and glucose metabolism children with obesity investigate possible role 6-minute walking test (6MWT) as a predictor metabolic improvement. A total 35 Caucasian (aged 8-13) were enrolled tested before (T0) after (T1) 12-week exercise protocol: cardiovascular fitness (by means 6MWT), biochemical profile, lifestyle (with ad hoc questionnaires focusing on physical activity,...
Gatti, A, Giuriato, M, Pirazzi, Vandoni, Pellino, VC, and Lovecchio, N. Strength in decline? performance's secular trends of Italian middle school children. J Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-It is well known that there a concerning decline overall physical fitness (PF) levels among youth. Despite these, studies on muscle strength (MS) yield conflicting results. Moreover, continuous temporal data focusing children adolescents are lacking, with limited consideration factors such as body mass...
We explored the physical activity (PA) level and variation in glycaemic control children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before during lockdown. Then, we proposed an online training program supported by sport-science specialists.
Physical fitness (PF) is positively related to skeletal and metabolic health, it had an inverse relation with obesity. Adolescents obesity have the worst performance in PF speed-agility (SA) that contributes augmented risk develop pathologies. To best of our knowledge, many studies analyzed trends SA separately, but there a lack data about ability adolescents We aimed investigate children last few decades define association between body weight physical performance.
