Substantial evidence indicates that youth physical fitness levels are an important marker of lifestyle and cardio-metabolic health profiles and predict future risk of chronic diseases. The reliability physical fitness tests have not been explored in Latino-American youth population. This study's aim was to examine the reliability of health-related physical fitness tests that were used in the Co...

The objective of this systematic review was to examine the relationship between outdoor time and: (1) physical activity, (2) cardiorespiratory fitness, (3) musculoskeletal fitness, (4) sedentary behaviour; or (5) motor skill development in children aged 3-12 years. We identified 28 relevant studies that were assessed for quality using the GRADE framework. The systematic review revealed overall ...

aging has negative effects on motor and cognitive functions, therefore finding appropriate strategies to prevent the decline of these functions is necessary. it seems that cardiovascular fitness obtained by aerobic activity is a physiological mediator that explains the relationship between physical activity and improved cognitive performance. the aim of this research was to assess the effects o...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physical fitness variables are related to overweight or obesity in Korean women. METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 10,790 women aged 20-82 years visited a public health centre for evaluation of cardiovascular function, health-related physical fitness, and motor-related physical fitness. We used the definitions of overweight and obesity provide...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the longitudinal associations among fitness components and between fitness and mobility capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD Forty-six children (26 males, 20 females; mean age 9y 7mo [SD 1y 8mo]) with a bilateral (n=24) or a unilateral spastic CP (n=22) participated in aerobic and anaerobic fitness measurements on a cycle ergometer a...

Introduction. The level of mental and motor development as well physical fitness perceptual-motor performance should guarantee success in adapting to the new school environment.
 aim research. research was determine preschool children both genders aged from 4 7 years.
 Material methods. study included 275 at chronological age years including 134 girls 141 boys. In order assess fitness...

<p style="text-align: justify;">The motor sphere in children with ASD is frequently affected association low social and communicative skills. This makes development of individually tailored physical education programs especially important. We present the results contemporary foreign studies abilities that point to efficiency adaptive activities for as well acquiring everyday first part te...

Articulated robots have a much more complex relationship between motor outputs and locomotion than wheel robots have. We can simplify this relationship using an abstraction layer of cyclic motor outputs corresponding to different kinds of locomotion. One way to create these cyclic motor outputs is by evolving a controller network consisting of oscillators, motor output nodes, and weighted edges...
