Trends in physical fitness among adults from Macao SAR between 2001 and 2020
Monitoring temporal trends in physical fitness among adults offers insights into population health and informs preventive health strategies. This study examined such trends among adults aged 20–69 years from the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) between 2001 and 2020. Repeated cross-sectional population-representative data were collected in 2001, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 (n = 20,653). Objectively measured data on body size and physical …
The Relationship Between Digit Ratio ( 2D
Trends in physical fitness among Lithuanian adolescents aged 11–17 years between 1992 and 2022
BACKGROUND: Physical fitness is an excellent marker of general health and performance. We aimed to calculate trends in physical fitness among Lithuanian adolescents between 1992 and 2022. METHODS: Using a repeated cross-sectional design, body size and physical fitness data for 17 918 Lithuanian adolescents (50.3% female) aged 11-17 years were collected in 1992, 2002, 2012 and 2022. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from measured height and bod…

The relationship between the digit ratio ( 2D
BACKGROUND: Digit ratio (2D:4D), a putative marker of prenatal testosterone, is a negative correlate of sports, athletic, and fitness performance. OBJECTIVES: To describe the relationship between 2D:4D and vertical jump performance in athletes. METHODS: Sixty-one Division I American Football players from a Midwestern U.S. university had their 2D:4D measured digitally and their vertical jump performance measured using jump mechanography. The prima…

Temporal trends in the cardiorespiratory fitness of children and adolescents representing 19 high-income and upper middle-income countries between 1981 and 2014
OBJECTIVE: To estimate international and national temporal trends in the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of children and adolescents and to examine relationships between temporal trends in CRF and temporal trends in broad socioeconomic and health-related indicators across countries. METHODS: Data were obtained from a systematic search of studies that explicitly reported 20 m shuttle run test (a validated measure of CRF) descriptive data on appare…

European normative values for physical fitness in children and adolescents aged 9–17 years
OBJECTIVE: To develop sex-specific and age-specific normative values for the nine Eurofit tests in European children and adolescents aged 9-17 years. METHODS: A systematic review was undertaken to identify papers that explicitly reported descriptive results for at least one of nine Eurofit tests (measuring balance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, flexibility, speed, speed-agility and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)) on chil…
Relationships between the digit ratio (2D
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to examine relationships between digit ratio (2D:4D) and game-related statistics in professional and semi-professional male basketball players. The secondary aim was to quantify differences in mean 2D:4Ds between starting and reserve players. METHODS: Using a cross-sectional design, 93 male basketball players from the professional Australian National Basketball League and the semi-professional South A…
Relationships between the second to fourth digit ratio (2 D
OBJECTIVE: Digit ratio (2D:4D) is a negative correlate of sports performance, although this relationship may be weak in open-skill sports such as basketball. The primary aim was to quantify relationships between 2D:4D and game-related statistics in semi-professional female basketball players. The secondary aim was to quantify the differences in mean 2D:4Ds between players based on their position in the starting lineup. METHODS: Using a cross-sect…
Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with physical literacy in a large sample of Canadian children aged 8 to 12 years
This study identified strong favourable associations between CRF and physical literacy and its constituent components in children aged 8-12 years. Future research should investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the 20mSRT in screening those with low physical literacy levels
Relationships between digit ratio (2D
OBJECTIVE: To investigate relationships between the digit ratio (2D:4D) and competitive basketball performance in Australian men. METHODS: Using an observational cross-sectional design a total of 221 Australian basketball players who competed in the Olympic Games, International Basketball Federation World Championships/Cup, Australian National Basketball League, Central Australian Basketball League or socially had their 2D:4Ds measured. Analysis …
Global Matrix 2.0
The Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance organized the concurrent preparation of Report Cards on the physical activity of children and youth in 38 countries from 6 continents (representing 60% of the world’s population). Nine common indicators were used (Overall Physical Activity, Organized Sport Participation, Active Play, Active Transportation, Sedentary Behavior, Family and Peers, School, Community and the Built Environment, and Government Stra…
Relationships between digit ratio (2D
BACKGROUND: Digit ratio (2D:4D), a measure of prenatal testosterone exposure, is weakly-to-moderately associated with increased physical performance, although the evidence is far stronger for males than females. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between 2D:4D and measured on-water rowing performance in young females competing at the Australian Rowing Championships. METHODS: Using an observational, cross-sectional design, female rowers (n = 6…
Volumetric differences in body shape among adults with differing body mass index values
Body shape changes due to variations in body volume could have important implications in a range of fields that currently use 1D anthropometric measurements that do not capture body shape differences in the same detail
Testing the activitystat hypothesis
Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12610000248066
Technical note
Measurements of whole body surface area (WBSA) have important applications in numerous fields including biological anthropology, clinical medicine, biomechanics, and sports science. Currently, WBSA is most often estimated using predictive equations due to the complex and time consuming methods required for direct measurement. The main aim of this study was to identify whether there were significant and meaningful differences between WBSA measurem…
