Acute effect of school-based active breaks on physical activity level and on-task classroom behavior in primary schoolchildren
Introduction Active breaks (ABs) in the classroom are a promising way to promote children’s active behaviors while contributing to the development of their physical, academic, and cognitive skills. However, the effects of ABs, which are exclusive to classroom settings, remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the acute effect of an ABs intervention on physical activity levels and on-task classroom behavior in schoolchildren. Method …
Is Social Jetlag Associated With Physical Fitness Among Spanish Adolescents? Insights From the EHDLA Study
BACKGROUND: The misalignment of sleeping times during weekdays/weekends (i.e., social jetlag) is particularly common among adolescents and plausibly associated with their physical fitness. However, literature on this topic is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between social jetlag and physical fitness in Spanish adolescents. METHODS: A secondary analysis was conducted on cross-sectional data from the Eating Health…

Physical fitness and disordered eating among adolescents
The aim of this study was to examine the association between a comprehensive spectrum of physical fitness components and disordered eating symptoms in a sample of Spanish adolescents. This cross-sectional study analysed a representative sample of 741 adolescents (55.1% girls) from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities (EHDLA) study (Valle de Ricote, Region of Murcia, Spain). Objective physical fitness (i.e., cardiorespiratory fitness, uppe…
Is adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines associated with Mediterranean dietary patterns in adolescents
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and subjective well-being among Chilean children
International Exercise Recommendations in Older Adults (ICFSR)
The human ageing process is universal, ubiquitous and inevitable. Every physiological function is being continuously diminished. There is a range between two distinct phenotypes of ageing, shaped by patterns of living - experiences and behaviours, and in particular by the presence or absence of physical activity (PA) and structured exercise (i.e., a sedentary lifestyle). Ageing and a sedentary lifestyle are associated with declines in muscle func…

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Normative Values in Latin-American Adolescents
The aim of this study was to provide percentile values for a cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) field test for Latin-American adolescents (34,461 girls and 38,044 boys) aged 13 to 15 years. The role of fatness parameters on the CRF level across age groups was also examined, with a focus on non-obese (healthy) and obese groups. CRF was assessed using the 20-meter shuttle run test protocol. Anthropometric parameters were measured using body mass index…
Sociodemographic patterns of urine sodium excretion and its association with hypertension in Chile
Objective The aim of the study was to determine the main factors (sociodemographic, anthropometric, lifestyle and health status) associated with high Na excretion in a representative population of Chile. Design Na excretion (g/d), a valid marker of Na intake, was determined by urine analysis and Tanaka’s formulas. Blood pressure was measured by trained staff and derived from the mean of three readings recorded after 15 min rest. The associations …

Validation of multi‐frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis versus dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry to measure body fat percentage in overweight/obese Colombian adults
Our analysis showed a strong agreement between the two methods as reflected in the range of BF%. These results show that mBCA and DXA are comparable methods for measuring body composition with higher body fat percentages. However, due to broad limits of agreement, we can only recommend mBCA for groups of populations
