Development of a physical literacy consensus statement for Chile: Study protocol
Physical literacy is a multidimensional concept that encompasses various aspects of an individual’s ability to engage in physical activities throughout their lifespan. As a holistic approach, physical literacy (PL) has generated a lot of interest in the field of physical education, physical activity, and health promotion. Despite its growing popularity, the conceptualization and understanding differ among the countries. In the case of Latin Ameri…
The Potential Mediating Role of Good Mental Health on the Relationship Between Low Physical Activity and High Screen Time with Executive Functions in Chilean Children and Adolescents
Good mental health acts as a relevant mediator in child and adolescent cognitive development. These results reinforce the need to promote active and healthy lifestyles, as well as strategies that promote psychological wellbeing from an early age. Schools and families play an important role as protective agents and promoters of integral development; it is therefore recommended to implement intervention programmes that strategically address the phy…

Exploring the mediating role of promoting school physical activity on the relationship between low socioeconomic status and academic achievement and school climate: Evidence from 4,990 Chilean schools
There is evidence that promoting school physical activity (PSPA) benefits children and adolescents, but little is understood about how this promotion may relate to academic achievement and school climate across varying levels of socioeconomic status (SES). Hence, the study aimed to address this knowledge gap by examining two main objectives: (1) determining the association between PSPA and academic achievement and school climate according to scho…

Association Between Screen Time and Lifestyle Parameters with Executive Functions in Chilean Children and Adolescents: Potential Mediating Role of Health-Related Quality of Life
Background/Objective : This study aimed to (i) investigate the association between lifestyle parameters (i.e., screen time [ST], food habits, and physical activity [PA]) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with executive functions (EFs, i.e., attention, inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility) in Chilean children and adolescents, and (ii) determine the potential mediating role of HRQoL in the relationship between ST and EFs. …
Heart Rate from Progressive Volitional Cycling Test Is Associated with Endothelial Dysfunction Outcomes in Hypertensive Chilean Adults

Effectiveness of elastic band training and group-based dance on physical-functional performance in older women with sarcopenia: A pilot study
Elastic band training produces significantly greater responses on physical-functional performance regarding group-based dance in older women with sarcopenia. On the other hand, the EBG revealed a significant improvement in fat-free mass and upper and lower limb muscle strength, as well as a significant decrease time in TUG, and walking speed. Elastic band exercise is a safe, easy, affordable, and effective physical activity strategy, according to…
Muscle Quality Index is inversely associated with psychosocial variables among Chilean adolescents
A good muscle quality index (MQI) may have an inverse relationship with psychosocial variables of depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents. Unfortunately, little scientific evidence has related MQI to psychosocial variables in this population. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the relationship between the MQI and psychosocial variables of depression, anxiety, and stress in Chilean adolescents. In this quantitative correlational de…

The Social Distance Impacts from Covid-19 Pandemic on the Development of Two Orders of a Concurrent Training Programme for Morbidly Obese Patients
The COVID-19 social confinement worsened metabolic syndrome (MetS) outcomes that had improved from 20 weeks' RT + HIIT during the training period, such as WC, SBP, and Tg from HIIT + RT, when, worryingly, SBP increased to another more serious clinical classification in both groups
Exercise Training Program Improves Subjective Sleep Quality and Physical Fitness in Severely Obese Bad Sleepers
Severely obese bad sleepers improved their subjective sleep quality, the components of sleep, and cardiorespiratory fitness through an exercise training program. Improvement in subjective sleep quality was linked to an increase in handgrip strength

The influence of cardiometabolic risk factors on cardiorespiratory fitness in volunteer Chilean firefighters
Objectives Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max ) plays a fundamental role in firefighters' occupational activities due to the high intensity tasks they perform in their professional duties. In Chile, firefighters are volunteers (non‐salary) and their lack of continuous and programmed physical activity may affect their physical fitness and health. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of anthropometric parameters and cardiometaboli…
Low sleep time is associated with higher levels of blood pressure and fat mass in Amerindian schoolchildren
OBJECTIVES: While altered sleep patterns (ie, low sleep time) have been studied and reported in adults as a new cardiometabolic risk factor, less information is available on how sleep patterns impact children of different ethnicities.
