  • Inter‐individual variability in children's physical growth and body composition

    Open AccessTeresinha De Jesus Sousa Lima, Thaliane Mayara Pessôa dos Prazeres et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2021

    There are differences in the dynamics of PG and BC, low-birth-weight and type of delivery influence the dynamics of PG during this interval of ages

  • Association between body mass index, physical activity and motor competence in children

    Open AccessDaniel Da Rocha Queiroz, Javiera Alarcón-Aguilar et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2020

    The association between BMI and MC is moderated by environmental contexts

  • Are there gross motor coordination spurts during mid‐childhood

    Open AccessMarcos A M Dos Santos, Adam Dominic George Baxter‐jone et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2019

    Objectives The aims of this study were (1) to identify the timing of the mid‐growth spurt (MGS) in stature in children and (2) to identify gross motor coordination (GMC) spurts when aligned by the age of attainment of the MGS (aMGS). Methods Stature, weight, and GMC were measured in 245 Portuguese children followed annually from 6 to 10 years. GMC was assessed and to estimate children's MGS in stature as well as GMC spurts in each of the four tes…

  • Biological and behavioral correlates of body weight status among rural Northeast Brazilian schoolchildren

    Open AccessFernanda Karina Dos Santos, Marcos A M Dos Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2018

    OBJECTIVES: The increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in youth is a public health problem worldwide; however, few studies have investigated its prevalence and correlates in children from the Brazilian Northeast region rural zone. The purpose of this study was (1) to estimate the prevalence of children's weight status according to sex, age, and birth weight categories; and (2) to investigate the links between biological and behavioral f…

  • A multi-level analysis of individual- and school-level correlates of physical fitness in children

    Open AccessCarla Santos, Ana Reyes et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2018

    In the primary school years, individual-level characteristics were more important than the school context in explaining variations in physical fitness

  • Deficits in anthropometric indices of nutritional status and motor performance among low birth weight children from Maputo City, Mozambique

    Open AccessMario Eugénio Tchamo, Marcos A M Dos Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    LBW seems to be the major factor that influences anthropometry, and is a predictor of low muscle strength and low performance on sideways movement tests. This result suggests that growth faltering in LBW children is associated with adverse health consequences, even after controlling for gender, age, fatness, and body size

  • Efeito Da Participação Em Aulas De Educação Física Escolar Sobre Indicadores De Crescimento, Composição Corporal E Aptidão Neuromotora Em Crianças

    Open AccessDaniel Rocha Queiroz, Danielle Ribeiro Queiroz et al.ARTICLEPensar a Prática2017

    O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar os efeitos de 12 semanas de aulas de Educação Física sobre os indicadores de crescimento, composição corporal e testes neuromotores em crianças. 23 indivíduos de ambos os sexos (6 a 10 anos) foram avaliados quanto às variáveis antropométricas (massa corporal, estatura, altura sentada, IMC e RCQ), composição corporal e testes neuromotores (força, flexibilidade e RML abdominal). A ANOVA two-way e o t-student for…

  • Permanent deficits in handgrip strength and running speed performance in low birth weight children

    Open AccessMarcos A M Dos Santos, Marcos Moura‐Dos‐Santos et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2013

    OBJECTIVE: The main goal of this study was to verify the influence of low birth weight (LBW) on the physical fitness of children aged 7-10 years. The comparisons were subsequently adjusted for chronological age, gender, physical activity (PA), and body composition. METHODS: A total of 356 children of both genders born in Vitoria de Santo Antão (Northeast of Brazil) were divided into two groups according to their birth weight (LBW < 2.500 g, n = 1…
