Association between cardiorespiratory fitness levels and cardiometabolic risk factors among metropolitan police officers
Police officers are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to shift work, high occupational stress, and prolonged sedentary patrol duties, which can negatively affect cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). This risk is particularly important in Gauteng Province, South Africa, where CVD prevalence is high, and metropolitan police face unique urban and occupational challenges. Despite the physically demanding perception of law enforcement, CRF l…
Association of Fitness and Fatness with Clustered Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Nigerian Adolescents
Purpose : This study examinedthe independent and joint association of fitness and fatness with clustered cardiovascular disease risk (CVDrs) in 11-18 year-old Nigerian adolescents. Methods : A hundred and ninety seven adolescents (100 girls and 97 boys) were evaluated forfitness, fatness and CVDrs. Fitness was evaluated with the progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run test while fatness was assessed using body mass index. A clustered CVD…
Physical Fitness, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, or Diet—What Are the Correlates of Obesity in Polish School Children
There is substantial evidence of rising prevalence of overweight and obesity and its co-morbidities among children in western-high income developed countries. In the European Union, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing fastest among Polish children. Yet, there is paucity of evidence on the relationship of behavioral factors with body weight status of children in Poland. This study examined the association of obesity with physica…
Assessment of Physical Fitness Status of Athletes with Intellectual Disabilities Participating in Special Olympics Programs in Nairobi County, Kenya
Information on the fitness status of people with disabilities in Kenya is scanty, particularly for those who participate in Special Olympics sports. The study aimed to assess the physical fitness level of athletes with Intellectual Disability participating in the Special Olympics program in Nairobi region and compare their fitness levels across different centers and gender, using the commonly used race-specific percentiles. A total of 208 childre…
Anthropometrically determined nutritional status of urban primary schoolchildren in Makurdi, Nigeria
There is severe malnutrition among the school children living in Makurdi. Most of the children are underweight, stunted and thinned. As such, providing community education on environmental sanitation and personal hygienic practices, proper child rearing, breast-feeding and weaning practices would possibly reverse the trends
Stability of somatotypes in 4 to 10 year-old rural South African girls
In 1996, a mixed Ellisras longitudinal study (ELS) was initiated to assess the stability of somatotypes in 408 girls who comprised 99 pre-school and 309 primary school children in Ellisras rural area in the Northern Province of South Africa. The children's somatotype was assessed using the Heath-Carter anthropometric method. Anthropometric dimensions were taken according to the protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthr…
