Physical activity intensities in youth
Seasonality in PA intensities and SB suggest that interventions to promote PA and decrease SB must be tailored to take into consideration the month of the year they are going to be implemented and also gender characteristics
Influence of body fat and level of physical activity on rate‐pressure product at rest in preschool children
OBJECTIVE: The rate-pressure product (RPP) has strong correlation with the maximal oxygen consumption and is an indicator of myocardium stress being considered as the best indirect method to measure myocardial oxygen consumption. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have addressed in preschool children. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of percentage of body fat (%BF) and physical activity (PA) patterns on RPP at Res…
Insulin resistance and its relation to adiposity, cardiorespiratory fitness and dietary intake among Azorean adolescents
Insulin resistance is an important compo nent in the development of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle-related diseases. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR), adiposity, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and dietary intake among Azorean adolescents
Reference curves for BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio for Azorean adolescents (Portugal)
Objective There are no percentile curves for BMI, waist circumference (WC) or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) available for Portuguese children and adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to develop age- and sex-specific BMI, WC and WHtR percentile curves for a representative sample of adolescents living in the Portuguese islands of Azores, one of the poorest regions of Europe, and to compare them with those from other countries. Design Cr…
Metabolic risk factors, physical activity and physical fitness in azorean adolescents
Daily step counts and PF levels were negatively associated with having one or more MRF among Azorean adolescents. Our findings emphasize the importance of promoting and increasing regular PA and PF to reduce the public health burden of chronic diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle
Influence of cardiorespiratory fitness and parental lifestyle on adolescents' abdominal obesity
This study highlights the influence of adolescents' family on abdominal obesity, especially in girls. Further, the data suggested that low CRF was a strong predictor of risk values of abdominal obesity in adolescence
Sitting Time and Body Mass Index, in a Portuguese Sample of Men
The aim of this study was to verify the relation between body mass index (BMI) and sitting time in a sample of 4,091 Azorean men. BMI was calculated from self-reported weight and height. Total physical activity (PA) time and total sitting time were assessed with the IPAQ (short version). Linear Regression analysis showed that total sitting time (hours/day) was positively associated with BMI (B = 0.078; p < 0.001) after adjustments for age, meal f…
