relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular diseases risk factors in iranian children

Associations between aerobic and muscular fitness and cardiovascular disease risk: the northern Ireland young hearts study.

BACKGROUND It is not clear what the relative contribution is of specific components of physical fitness (aerobic and muscular) to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We investigated associations between aerobic fitness (endurance) and muscular fitness (power) and CVD risk factors. METHODS Data were obtained from the Young Hearts project, a representative sample of 12- and 15-year-old boys and ...

Selected anthropometric variables and aerobic fitness as predictors of cardiovascular disease risk in children

The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and aerobic fitness as predictors of cardiovascular risk factor clustering in children. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 290 school boys and girls from 6 to 10 years old, randomly selected. Blood was collected after a 12-hour fasting period. Blood pressure, waist circumfe...
