International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity > 2019 > 16 > 1 > 1-10

Background Evidence on the association between sitting for extended periods (i.e. prolonged sedentary time (PST)) and cardio-metabolic health is inconsistent in children. We aimed to estimate the differences in cardio-metabolic health associated with substituting PST with non-prolonged sedentary time (non-PST), light (LIPA) or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in children. Methods Cross-sectional...

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports > 28 > 10 > 2173 - 2182

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training (RT) on phase angle (PhA), inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, and to evaluate whether these RT‐induced adaptations are related to PhA changes. Fifty‐one older women (70.6 ± 5.1 years; 26.9 ± 4.2 kg/m²) were randomly allocated into a training group (TG) that performed 12‐week RT or a nonexercising...

This study aimed to evaluate the associations between muscular fitness and inflammatory biomarkers and to investigate the relationship between muscular fitness and selected clustered inflammatory biomarkers in adolescents. This is a cross‐sectional analysis with 529 adolescents (267 girls) aged 12‐18 years. Handgrip strength and standing long jump tests assessed MF. Continuous scores of clustered...

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports > 27 > 11 > 1308 - 1316

Phase angle (PhA) is an angular‐derived bioelectrical impedance parameter based on resistance and reactance that has been widely used in different populations as an objective indicator of cellular health. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of resistance training (RT) on PhA in older women. Forty‐one older women (67.2 ± 4.5 years, 64.0 ± 12.3 kg, 154.7 ± 5.2 cm, and 26.6 ± 4.8 kg/m...

Waist‐to‐height ratio is independently related to whole and central body fat, regardless of the waist circumference measurement protocol, in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease patients

N. M. Pimenta, H. Cortez‐Pinto, X. Melo, J. Silva‐Nunes, more

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics > 30 > 2 > 185 - 192

Background Waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) has been reported as a preferable risk related body fat (BF) marker, although no standardised waist circumference measurement protocol (WCmp) has been proposed. The present study aimed to investigate whether the use of a different WCmp affects the strength of relationship between WHtR and both whole and central BF in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)...

Single and combined effects of body composition phenotypes on carotid intima‐media thickness

X. Melo, H. Santa‐Clara, D. A. Santos, N. M. Pimenta, more

Pediatric Obesity > 11 > 4 > 272 - 278

Background Central fatness might be a more sensitive predictor of atherosclerotic changes in children than are total body fat measures. However, it is unclear whether a total body fat measure coupled with an estimate of a more central pattern of fat accumulation predicts increased carotid intima‐media‐thickness (cIMT) better than either measure alone. Objective The objective of the study is to...

Influence of physical activity and skeleton geometry on bone mass at the proximal femur in 10- to 12-year-old children—a longitudinal study

Osteoporosis International > 2014 > 25 > 8 > 2035-2045

Summary Physical activity (PA) have long been identified as a determining factor of the mineralization of the skeleton, particularly in children. Our research supports the hypothesis that the geometry of the pelvis and proximal femur (PF) might moderate the effect of PA in the relative mineralization of the PF subregions. Introduction Using a longitudinal observational study with two evaluations...

PPARGC1A sequence variation and cardiovascular risk-factor levels: a study of the main genetic effects and gene × environment interactions in children from the European Youth Heart Study

E. C. Brito, K. S. Vimaleswaran, S. Brage, L. B. Andersen, more

Diabetologia > 2009 > 52 > 4 > 609-613

Aims/hypothesis The PPARGC1A gene coactivates multiple nuclear transcription factors involved in cellular energy metabolism and vascular stasis. In the present study, we genotyped 35 tagging polymorphisms to capture all common PPARGC1A nucleotide sequence variations and tested for association with metabolic and cardiovascular traits in 2,101 Danish and Estonian boys and girls from the European Youth...

Independent associations of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness with metabolic risk factors in children: the European youth heart study

U. Ekelund, S. A. Anderssen, K. Froberg, L. B. Sardinha, more

Diabetologia > 2007 > 50 > 9 > 1832-1840

Aims/hypothesis High levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) are associated with a favourable metabolic risk profile. However, there has been no thorough exploration of the independent contributions of cardiorespiratory fitness and subcomponents of activity (total PA, time spent sedentary, and time spent in light, moderate and vigorous intensity PA) to metabolic risk factors...

Usefulness of age-adjusted equations to estimate body fat with air displacement plethysmography in male adolescent athletes

L. B. Sardinha, A. M. Silva, P. J. Teixeira

Acta Diabetologica > 2003 > 40 > S1 > s63-s67

This study was designed to examine the accuracy of air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) using Lohmans age-adjusted equations (Leq) and Siris equation (Seq) in estimating body fat (BF) in male adolescent athletes, with the four-compartment (4C) model as reference. Subjects were 51 Caucasian boys (age, 15.51.2 years; weight, 71.011.9 kg; stature, 1.790.12 m). Comparison of means with the Wilcoxon...

P. J. Teixeira, P. Rocha, E. Carnero, L. B. Sardinha

Acta Diabetologica > 2003 > 40 > S1 > s76-s78

The purpose of this study was to describe the association of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) as assessed by ultrasound with fat tissue in the abdomen, trunk, and other areas as measured by DXA in 101 postmenopausal Caucasian women (62.5 years; 27.3 kg/m2; 43.0% body fat). Ultrasound SAT thickness was calculated with electronic calipers positioned at the skin-fat and fat-muscle computer...

L. B. Sardinha, E. A. Carnero, S. Martins, T. Branco, more

Acta Diabetologica > 2003 > 40 > S1 > s29-s31

The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between the equations presented by Du Bois and Du Bois (1916) and Livingston and Lee (2001), used to estimate body surface area (BSA) and its impact on predicting appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) in adults, using a model based on the Reference Man (Fuller et al. 1992). Subjects were 666 Caucasian women (44.315.2 years, 63.710.5 kg, 1...
