Relationship between perceived body weight and body mass index based on self- reported height and weight among university students: a cross-sectional study in seven European countries
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Background: Despite low rates of obesity, many university students perceive themselves as overweight, especially women. This is of concern, because inappropriate weight perceptions can lead to unhealthy behaviours ...
Interaction effect of the Mediterranean diet and an obesity genetic risk score on adiposity and metabolic syndrome in adolescents: the HELENA study
(MDPI, 2020)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are worldwide major health challenges. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with a better cardiometabolic profile, but these beneficial effects may be influenced by genetic ...
Estimation of pubertal growth-spurt parameters in children and adolescents in Colombia: comparison between low and moderate altitudes
(MDPI, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Context-specific information, including differences in geographical areas, such as distinct
altitudes, can be important to explain variations in physical growth. We aimed to compare the
estimation of maximum growth ...
Combined body mass index and waist-to-height ratio and its association with lifestyle and health factors among Spanish children: the PASOS study
(MDPI, 2022)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background and Aims: The World Health Organization recommended simultaneous measurement of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and suggested joint use to predict disease risks. The aim of this study was to ...
The chronic effects of low- and high-intensity resistance training on muscular fitness in adolescents
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
To compare the effects of high-load, low-repetition maximum (LRM) and low-load, high-repetition
maximum (HRM) resistance training regimens on muscular fitness in untrained adolescents.
Forty-five untrained adolescents ...
Top 10 international priorities for physical fitness research and surveillance among children and adolescents: a twin-panel Delphi study
(Springer, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Background The measurement of physical ftness has a history that dates back nearly 200 years. Recently, there has been
an increase in international research and surveillance on physical ftness creating a need for setting ...
Association between UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 gene polymorphisms with markers of adiposity in European adolescents: The HELENA study
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Aims: To examine the association between UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 gene polymorphisms with adiposity markers in European adolescents and to test if there were gene interactions with objectively measured physical activity and ...
Waist circumference and abdominal volume index can predict metabolic syndrome in adolescents, but only when the criteria of the international diabetes federation are employed for the diagnosis
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
We previously reported, using the diagnostic criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), that waist circumference (WC) and abdominal volume index (AVI) were capable of predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS) in ...
Interventions based on mind–body therapies for the improvement of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms in youth: a systematic review
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background and objectives: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Mind–body therapies (MBTs) seem to be effective for improving health ...
Cardiorespiratory fitness normative values in Latin-american adolescents: role of fatness parameters
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The aim of this study was to provide percentile values for a cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) field test for Latin-American adolescents (34,461 girls and 38,044 boys) aged 13 to 15 years. The role of fatness parameters on ...
