Skeletal maturity in adolescence: evaluating bone development and age metrics
Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís; Teixeira, Diana; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel JoãoBackground/Objectives: Bone maturation and development are crucial for growth and development, especially in children and adolescents; however, some qualitative methods, such as Greulich & Pyle, do not provide accurate data. Our aim is to verify whether skeletal age (SA) can predict and correlate with bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition (BC). Methods: A cross-sectional s...
Autonomic Function Recovery and Physical Activity Levels in Post-COVID-19 Young...
Freire, Ana Paula Coelho Figueira; Amin, Shaan; de Lira, Fábio Santos; Morano, Ana Elisa von Ah; Pereira, Telmo; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel JoãoCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has detrimental multi-system consequences. Symptoms may appear during the acute phase of infection, but the literature on long-term recovery of young adults after mild to moderate infection is lacking. Heart rate variability (HRV) allows for the observation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Since physical activity (PA) can help improve AN...
Tracking of cardiorespiratory fitness from childhood to early adolescence: Mode...
Werneck, André Oliveira; Silva, Danilo Rodrigues; Agostinete, Ricardo Ribeiro; Fernandes, Rômulo Araújo; Valente-dos-Santos, JoãoObjective: To evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness’ tracking from childhood to adolescence, as well as to test the moderation role of somatic maturation. Methods: Our sample was composed by 375 children (197 boys), with a baseline age between 7 and 10 years old. The children were followed-up over three years. Body mass and stature were measured as anthropometric indicators and were used to estimate maturity statu...
Biological maturation and muscular strength: Mediation analysis in prepubescent...
Oliveira Luz, Leonardo Gomes de; D`Ávila Luz, Tatiana Durão; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Duarte, João Pedro; Seabra, André Filipe Teixeira eIntroduction: Biological maturation has been related to the level of physical activity and motor competence of children. Objectives: This study aimed to: 1) analyze the association between biological maturation and performance in muscular strength tests and 2) examine whether the relationship between maturation and performance in physical tests is mediated by anthropometric variables. Method: The sample was com...
Agreement between dual x-ray absorptiometers using pencil beam and fan beam: in...
Tavares, Óscar M.; Duarte, João P.; Costa, Daniela C.; Sousa e Silva, Paulo; Martinho, Diogo; Lus, Leonardo G. O.; Duarte-Mendes, PedroOBJECTIVE: The current study was aimed to examine intra-individual variation on indicators of bone health in addition to whole-body plus appendicular tissue measurements using two concurrent assessments based on pencil beam and fan beam dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) systems in adult athletes from several sports. METHOD: Thirty-two male participants (27.6±10.1 years) were measured on anthropometry inclu...
Use of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in identifying cardiovas...
Brito, Lilian Messias Sampaio; Mascarenhas, Luis Paulo Gomes; Moser, Deise Cristiane; Titski, Ana Cláudia Kapp; Cat, Monica Nunes LimaThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels on the prevalence of overweight and high blood pressure levels in adolescents. In this observational, cross-sectional study, 614 boys aged 10-14 years were assessed for height, body mass, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP). CRF was assessed using a run tes...
Perímetro de cintura como mediador da influência da maturação biológica no dese...
Luz, Leonardo G. O.; Seabra, André; Padez, Cristina; Duarte, João P.; Gonçalves, Ricardo Rebelo; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Luz, Tatiana D. D.Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivos: 1) analisar a associac¸ão do estado maturacional com o desempenho nas provas de coordenac¸ão motora em crianc¸as e 2) examinar se a relac¸ão entre o estado maturacional e o desempenho no KTK é mediada por alguma medida antropométrica. Métodos: A amostra de conveniência foi composta por 73 crianc¸as do sexo masculino com 8 anos. A antropometria considerou a estatu...
Prevalence of physical activity through the practice of sports among adolescent...
Christofaro, Diego Giulliano Destro; Fernandes, Rômulo Araújo; Martins, Catarina; Ronque, Enio Ricardo Vaz; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel JoãoThis study evaluated the prevalence of physical activity through the practice of sports in adolescents from schools in two Brazilian cities and a Portuguese school, and its association with independent variables, such as gender and age. A cross-sectional study was conducted of schoolchildren from two cities in Brazil and one in Portugal. The total study sample was 3694 subjects (1622 males and 1872 females). Ph...
Multilevel Approach of a 1-Year Program of Dietary and Exercise Interventions o...
Courteix, Daniel; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Ferry, Béatrice; Lac, Gérard; Lesourd, Bruno; Chapier, Robert; Naughton, Geraldine; Marceau, GeoffroyWeight loss is a public health concern in obesity-related diseases such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, restrictive diets might induce bone loss. The nature of exercise and whether exercise with weight loss programs can protect against potential bone mass deficits remains unclear. Moreover, compliance is essential in intervention programs. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effects that modality and exerc...
