Adiposity, Aerobic Fitness, Muscle Fitness, and Markers of Inflammation in Children

Adiposity, aerobic fitness, muscle fitness, and markers of inflammation in children.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe levels of inflammation markers in Norwegian children and to examine the associations of adiposity, aerobic fitness, and muscle fitness with markers of inflammation. METHODS In 2005-2006, 1467 nine-year-olds were randomly selected from all regions in Norway. The participation rate was 89%. The inflammatory markers evaluated included C-reactive ...

Adolescent Trajectories of Aerobic Fitness and Adiposity as Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk in Adulthood

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether adolescent growth trajectories of aerobic fitness and adiposity were associated with mid-adulthood cardiometabolic risk (CMR). Methods Participants were drawn from the Saskatchewan Growth and Development Study (1963-1973). Adolescent growth trajectories for maximal aerobic capacity (absolute VO2 (AbsVO2)), skinfolds (SF), representing t...

Aerobic fitness of children and adolescents.

Aerobic fitness, not energy expenditure, influences subsequent increase in adiposity in black and white children.

BACKGROUND Low levels of energy expenditure and aerobic fitness have been hypothesized to be risk factors for obesity. Longitudinal studies to determine whether energy expenditure influences weight gain in whites have provided conflicting results. To date, no studies have examined this relationship in blacks or whether aerobic fitness influences weight gain in white or black children. METHODS...

The role of fitness and aerobic exercises on the executive functions of dyslexia and dyscalculia children

Abstract Background and Purpose: Studies carried out in recent decades show that exercises have useful impact on improving executive functions. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the roles of fitness and aerobic exercises on problem-solving process of dyslexic and dyscalculia children. Materials and methods: Using systematic review study and key terms including fitness and aerobic e...
