Cross-validation of the Beunen–Malina method to predict adult height
The purpose of this study was to cross-validate the Beunen-Malina method for non-invasive prediction of adult height. Three hundred and eight boys aged 13, 14, 15 and 16 years from the Madeira Growth Study were observed at annual intervals in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and re-measured 7-8 years later. Height, sitting height and the triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured; skeletal age was assessed using the Tanner-Whitehouse 2 method. Adult heig…
Secular trends in anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, physical activity, and biological maturation in Flemish adolescents between 1969 and 2005
In this study, secular trends in anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, physical activity, and biological maturity over the past 25–35 years in Flemish adolescents were investigated. Representative cross‐sectional samples of 12–18‐year‐old secondary school children (11,899 assessments in boys in 1969–1974, 4,899 girls in 1979–1980, 1,429 boys and 1,772 girls in 2005) and parent‐offspring pairs tested at approximately the same age durin…
Modeling stability and change in strength development
The purpose of this study was to investigate stability and change in different expressions of strength development in adolescent boys using structural equation modeling. Three models were used: Markov simplex to study stability or tracking, Wiener or random walk to investigate fanning‐out or spread effects in change, and latent growth to study differences in individual pathways of change as well as group changes. In the Leuven Growth Study, 588 m…
Association between bone mineral density (DXA), body structure, and body composition in middle‐aged men
The association between bone mass, body structure, and body composition was explored in 156 men, 40 years of AGE . Bone mineral density (total body, lumbar spine, left arm, and left leg) was obtained by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA; Hologic QDR 4500A). Body structure was determined from a battery of anthropometric dimensions with a principal components analysis. Body composition was estimated with DXA. From the 24 anthropometric dimensio…
Adolescent physical performance and adult physical activity in Flemish males
Limited information is available about the associations between adolescent fitness levels and adult physical activity. In the present study, these associations are investigated using different indicators of physical activity. It is hypothesized that both health- and performance-related fitness characteristics, observed during the adolescent period, contribute equally to the explained variance in adult physical activity levels. Subjects were 109 F…

Daily physical activity and physical fitness from adolescence to adulthood
The stability of physical fitness and physical activity in Flemish males from 18 to 40 years of age was investigated. In addition, effects of a consistently low-activity or high-activity level during the same age period on physical fitness were studied. The sample consisted of males who were followed longitudinally from age 13 to age 18 years, and were remeasured at the ages of 30, 35, and 40 years. Complete data about physical fitness and physic…
Associations between daily physical activity and physical fitness in Flemish males
The relationship of physical activity to several components of physical fitness was investigated in a sample of 166 males 40 years of age. In addition to Pearson correlations, multivariate canonical correlations were calculated. Physical activity during work (work index), sport (sport index), and leisure time (leisure time index) was assessed by the Baecke questionnaire. Physical fitness included cardiorespiratory fitness measures, the body mass …

A Longitudinal Study of Youth Sport Participation and Adherence to Sport in Adulthood
Youth sport programmes are often legitimized on their assumed contribution to continued sport involvement in adulthood. A longitudinal analysis was made of the sport involvement pattern of a sample ( N = 236) of male subjects from 13 to 35 years of age, from a perspective of continued socialization into sport. The results of the quantitative analysis show that the continuation of sport participation from youth into adulthood is different accordin…
Relationships of motor performance of adult men to anthropometry
Relationships between 12 anthropometric characteristics and motor performance, as measured by various fitness tests, were considered in a sample of 165 Flemish adults observed at age 30 years. In addition to a bivariate correlation study, a canonical correlation analysis was carried out. More than 72% of the variance was shared by the first three canonical variables. The first canonical variable can be explained as a general size function. Static…
