  • Modeling the Dynamics of Children’s Musculoskeletal Fitness

    Open AccessAna Reyes, Raquel Nichele de Chaves et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    This study models children's musculoskeletal fitness (MSF) developmental trajectories and identifies individual differences related to effects of time-invariant, as well as time-varying covariates. A total of 348 Portuguese children (177 girls) from six age cohorts were followed for three years. MSF tests (handgrip strength, standing long jump and shuttle run), age, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status (SES), gross motor coordination (GMC)…

  • Are there gross motor coordination spurts during mid‐childhood

    Open AccessMarcos A M Dos Santos, Adam Dominic George Baxter‐jone et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2019

    Objectives The aims of this study were (1) to identify the timing of the mid‐growth spurt (MGS) in stature in children and (2) to identify gross motor coordination (GMC) spurts when aligned by the age of attainment of the MGS (aMGS). Methods Stature, weight, and GMC were measured in 245 Portuguese children followed annually from 6 to 10 years. GMC was assessed and to estimate children's MGS in stature as well as GMC spurts in each of the four tes…

  • Resemblance in physical activity levels

    Open AccessSara Pereira, P T Katzmarzyk et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2018

    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…

  • Familial resemblance in gross motor coordination. The Peruvian Sibling Study on Growth and Health

    Open AccessAlcibíades Bustamante, Alcibíades B Valdívia et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2018

    These results demonstrate statistically significant sibling resemblance in GMC. Age, BMI, PF and geographical area were significant correlates of GMC

  • A multi-level analysis of individual- and school-level correlates of physical fitness in children

    Open AccessCarla Santos, Ana Reyes et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2018

    In the primary school years, individual-level characteristics were more important than the school context in explaining variations in physical fitness

  • A mixed-longitudinal study of children’s growth, motor development and cognition. Design, methods and baseline results on sex-differences

    Open AccessAna Reyes, Raquel Nichele de Chaves et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2018

    Baseline results from the GMDC-Vouzela study indicate the dynamic relationships between children's biological and environmental characteristics. They also highlight lifestyle traits that will most likely effect subsequent growth, motor and cognitive development

  • Multilevel modelling of somatotype components

    Open AccessSara Pereira, P T Katzmarzyk et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2016

    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

    Open AccessMichele Souza, Michele Caroline de Souza et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2016

    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

  • Height, weight, body composition, and waist circumference references for 7- to 17-year-old children from rural Portugal

    Open AccessR Chaves, Raquel Nichele de Chaves et al.ARTICLEHOMO2015

  • Effects of Individual and School-Level Characteristics on a Child’s Gross Motor Coordination Development

    Open AccessRaquel Nichele de Chaves, Raquel Chaves et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    The aim of this study was to identify child and school-level characteristics that explained inter-individual differences in gross motor coordination (GMC). Participants (n = 390), recruited from 18 Portuguese primary schools, were aged 6 to 10 years of age. Birth weight, body fat (BF), physical activity (PA), physical fitness (PF) and GMC were assessed. School size, setting, infrastructure and physical education classes were considered as school …

  • Variability and Stability in Daily Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity among 10 Year Old Children

    Open AccessSara Pereira, Thayse N Q Gomes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    Day-to-day variability and stability of children's physical activity levels across days of the week are not well understood. Our aims were to examine the day-to-day variability of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), to determine factors influencing the day-to-day variability of MVPA and to estimate stability of MVPA in children. The sample comprises 686 Portuguese children (10 years of age). MVPA was assessed with an accelerometer, and…

  • A Count Model to Study the Correlates of 60 Min of Daily Physical Activity in Portuguese Children

    Open AccessAlessandra Borges, Thayse N Q Gomes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    This study aimed to present data on Portuguese children (aged 9-11 years) complying with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guidelines, and to identify the importance of correlates from multiple domains associated with meeting the guidelines. Physical activity (PA) was objectively assessed by accelerometry throughout seven days on 777 children. A count model using Poisson regression was used to identify the best set of correlates that …

  • Differences in motor performance between children and adolescents in Mozambique and Portugal

    Open AccessFernanda Karina Dos Santos, Alan Nevill et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2015

    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

    Open AccessThayse N Q Gomes, Thayse Natacha Gomes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    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

  • Clustering of body composition, blood pressure and physical activity in Portuguese families

    Open AccessRaquel Nichele de Chaves, Adam Dominic George Baxter‐jone et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2013

    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
