How Do Health, Biological, Behavioral, and Cognitive Variables Interact over Time in Children of Both Sexes? A Complex Systems Approach
The present study examined gender differences in health, physical activity, physical fitness, real and perceived motor competence, and executive function indicators in three time points, and analyzed the dynamic and non-linear association between health, biological, behavioral, and cognitive variables in children followed over time. A total of 67 children (aged between six and 10 years) were followed during two years and split into two cohorts (s…
Physical (in)activity, and its predictors, among Brazilian adolescents: A multilevel analysis
Significant differences between Brazilian federative units in youth daily physical activity guidelines compliance were observed, highlighting the role of individual but also environmental constraints in the Brazilian adolescents' engagement in physical activity
Adolescent’s movement behaviors and built environment: A latent class analysis
The findings highlight the influence of neighborhood classes on adolescents' LPA and TST
Biological and behavioral correlates of body weight status among rural Northeast Brazilian schoolchildren
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…
Resemblance in physical activity levels: The Portuguese sibling study on growth, fitness, lifestyle, and health
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationships of biological, behavioral, familial, and environmental characteristics with siblings ́ physical activity (PA) levels as well as the intrapair resemblance in PA. METHODS: The sample comprises 834 (390 females) biological siblings [brother-brother (BB), sister-sister (SS), brother-sister (BS)] aged 9 to 20 years. Total PA index (TPAI) was estimated by questionnaire. Information on potential behavioral, f…
Active and strong: Physical activity, muscular strength, and metabolic risk in children
OBJECTIVES: This study explored the associations among physical activity, muscular strength, and metabolic risk among children. METHODS: The sample included 378 Portuguese children (213 girls; 9-11 years). Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was assessed by accelerometry and children were classified as active (≥60 min/day) or insufficiently active (<60 min/day). Static strength was expressed as the ratio of handgrip strength/body weight and us…
Deficits in anthropometric indices of nutritional status and motor performance among low birth weight children from Maputo City, Mozambique
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
Modeling longitudinal changes in hypertensive and waist phenotype: The oporto growth, health, and performance study
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to: (1) model changes in the hypertensive and waist phenotype (HWP) in youth, and (2) investigate the effects of sex, biological maturation, total physical activity (TPA), and physical fitness (PF) in HWP trajectories. METHODS: Data were obtained annually for 3 years from the Oporto Growth, Health, and Performance Study, and comprised 5,549 adolescents (2,732 girls) divided into four age cohorts (10, 12, 14, and 16 ye…
Multilevel modelling of somatotype components: The Portuguese sibling study on growth, fitness, lifestyle and health
These results highlight the significant familial effects on somatotype and the complexity of the role of familial resemblance in explaining variance in somatotypes
The Oporto mixed-longitudinal growth, health and performance study. Design, methods and baseline results
The OGHPS has an innovative approach due to its mixed-longitudinal design and the broad array of variables. Furthermore, subsequent analyses of the longitudinal data will enable a detailed exploration of important factors affecting the growth trajectories of health and performance variables and will also help to identify some of the most opportune times for interventions in terms of health behaviours
Secular trends in physical fitness of M ozambican school‐aged children and adolescents
OBJECTIVE: This study presents information about secular trends in physical fitness (PF) levels among Mozambican youth. METHODS: The sample comprises 3,851 subjects (1,791 boys; 2,060 girls) aged 8-15 years who were evaluated at three time points (1992, 1999, 2012). PF tests included handgrip strength, 10 m × 5 m shuttle-run, sit-and-reach, and 1-mile run/walk. Biological maturity was assessed by sexual characteristics, and percentage body fat wa…
Differences in motor performance between children and adolescents in Mozambique and Portugal: Impact of allometric scaling
These results reinforce the notion that significant differences exist in MP across countries, even after adjusting for differences in body size
Correlates of sedentary time in children: A multilevel modelling approach
Notwithstanding the relevance of the school environment in the reduction of children's sedentary time, individual and family characteristics played a more relevant role than the school context in this study
Nutritional status and its association with physical fitness, physical activity and parasitological indicators in youths from rural mozambique
BACKGROUND: Little information exists about the relationship of nutritional status and motor performance conditional on asymptomatic parasitemia in rural African children. AIMS: The aims of this study were to (1) determine if malnourished youths from rural African areas have lower levels of physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) compared to normal weight youths, (2) verify the biological relevance of anthropometric criteria used to clas…
Multi-level modelling of physical activity in nuclear families
These results suggest a strong dyadic resemblance in PA, showed different effects of gender, age and BMI on individuals' PA and demonstrated that multi-level modelling is a useful strategy to study PA in families
Clustering of body composition, blood pressure and physical activity in Portuguese families
The results suggest familial resemblance in the variation of body fat, BP and TPA, showing partial pleiotropic effects in the variation in body fat phenotypes and BP. TPA only shares common environmental influences with BP and body fat traits
Physical activity, fitness and the metabolic syndrome in rural youths from Mozambique
Youths from Calanga are physically active and possess high CRF and their lifestyle may be a protective effect against MetS
