Interrelationship between muscle fitness in childhood and bone mineral density ...
Barbosa, Cynthia C. L.; da Costa, Julio C.; Romanzini, Catiana L. P.; Batista, Mariana B.; Blasquez-Shigaki, Gabriela; Fernandes, Rômulo A.Background This study was aimed to examine the relationship between muscular fitness indicators in childhood and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in adulthood and to verify whether the relationship is mediated by performance on muscular fitness indicators in adulthood. Methods A sample of 138 healthy adults (69 males; 22.3 years) were followed after a previous assessment at the age of 7–10 years. Stature, body...
Reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of Greulich-Pyle protocol to estim...
Faustino-da-Silva, Yuri V; Martinho, Diogo V.; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Santos, João Valente dos; Conde, Jorge; Oliveira, Tomás G.; Ronque, Enio R. V.Background: Skeletal age (SA) is considered the best method of assessing biological maturation. The aim of this study was to determine intra-observer (reproducibility) and inter-observer agreement of SA values obtained via the Greulich-Pyle (GP) method. In addition, the variation in calculated SAs by alternative GP protocols was examined. Methods: The sample was composed of 100 Portuguese female soccer players ...
Allometric scaling of aerobic fitness outputs in school-aged pubertal girls
Werneck, André O.; Conde, Jorge; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Pereira, Artur; Costa, Daniela C.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Duarte, João P.Background: This study aimed to determine the allometric exponents for concurrent size descriptors (stature, body mass and fat-free mass) and also to examine the contribution of chronological age and pubertal status combined with above mentioned size descriptors to explain inter-individual variability in the peak of oxygen uptake (VO2peak) among girls during circumpubertal years. Methods: The final sample inclu...
Biocultural approach of the association between maturity and physical activity ...
Werneck, André O.; Silva, Danilo R.; Collings, Paul J.; Fernandes, Rômulo A.; Ronque, Enio R. V.; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Sardinha, Luís B.Objective: To test the biocultural model through direct and indirect associations between biological maturation, adiposity, cardiorespiratory fitness, feelings of sadness, social relationships, and physical activity in adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 1,152 Brazilian adolescents aged between 10 and 17 years. Somatic maturation was estimated through Mirwald's method (peak hei...

Bone tissue, blood lipids and inflammatory profiles in adolescent male athletes...
Agostinete, Ricardo R.; Duarte, João P.; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Tavares, Óscar M.; Conde, Jorge M.Exploring the effect of non-impact and impact sports is particular relevant to understand the interaction between skeletal muscle and bone health during growth. The current study aimed to compare total and regional bone and soft-tissue composition, in parallel to measurements of blood lipid and inflammatory profiles between adolescent athletes and non-athletes. Anthropometry, biological maturity, dual energy X-...
Concurrent agreement between an anthropometric model to predict thigh volume an...
Tavares, Óscar M.; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Duarte, João P.; Póvoas, Susana C.; Gobbo, Luís A.; Fernandes, Rômulo A.; Marinho, Daniel A.Background: A variety of performance outputs are strongly determined by lower limbs volume and composition in children and adolescents. The current study aimed to examine the validity of thigh volume (TV) estimated by anthropometry in late adolescent female volleyball players. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures were used as the reference method. Methods: Total and regional body composition was asse...
Resting heart rate: its correlations and potential for screening metabolic dysf...
Fernandes, Rômulo A.; Vaz Ronque, Enio R.; Venturini, Danielle; Barbosa, Décio S.; Silva, Danilo P.; Cogo, Crisieli T; Carnelossi, Mariana SouzaBackground: In pediatric populations, the use of resting heart rate as a health index remains unclear, mainly in epidemiological settings. The aims of this study were to analyze the impact of resting heart rate on screening dyslipidemia and high blood glucose and also to identify its significance in pediatric populations. Methods: The sample was composed of 971 randomly selected adolescents aged 11 to 17 years ...
