Association of physical education with improvement of health-related physical fitness outcomes and fundamental motor skills among youths: a systematic review and meta-analysis. JAMA Pediatrics, 174(6), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamapediatrics.2020.0223.2168-620310.1001/jamapediatrics.2020.0223https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/52851This systematic review and meta-analysis of 55 studies that included 37 563 youths revealed that cardiorespiratory fitness levels and change over approximately 1 year during youth were associated with lower risk of developing obesity and cardiometabolic disease later in life. These early associations detected from baseline to follow-up dissipated over time. The study suggests that prevention strategies that target youth cardiorespiratory fitness may be associated with improved health parameters in later life.application/pdfeng© 2020 American Medical Association.
