Agostinis-Sobrinho, César; Werneck, André de Oliveira; Kievišienė, Justina; Moreira, Carla; Ramírez-Vélez, Robinson; Rosário, Rafaela; Norkiene, SiguteObjective: Adolescent's ideal cardiovascular health index (ICVH) seems to be an important indicator of youth's lifestyles and cardiometabolic health with potential positive consequences for their Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between the ICVH index and HRQoL in adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on secondary analyses f...
A narrative review of motor competence in children and adolescents: what we kno...
Lopes, Luís; Santos, Rute; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel; Draper, Catherine; Mota, Jorge; Jidovtseff, Boris; Clark, Cain; Schmidt, Mirko; Morgan, PhilipLack of physical activity is a global public health problem causing not only morbidity and premature mortality, but it is also a major economic burden worldwide. One of the cornerstones of a physically active lifestyle is Motor Competence (MC). MC is a complex biocultural attribute and therefore, its study requires a multi-sectoral, multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approach. MC is a growing area of research...

The aim of the study was two-fold: (1) to examine the differences in C-reactive protein levels across different metabolic phenotypes (healthy and unhealthy) of weight status and (2) ascertain whether high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) atten...

Barbosa, João; Marques, Mário C.; Izquierdo, Mikel; Neiva, Henrique; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Ramírez-Vélez, Robinson; Alonso-Martínez, Alicia M.Background: Schoolbags and the consequences of carrying them, particularly those associated with overload, are often studied as a health concern. Modifications in gait and posture were reported when children carried loads that corresponded to more than 10% of their body weight (BW). The aims of this study were to verify the load that is carried by Portuguese students and how it is influenced by factors such as ...

Agostinis-Sobrinho, César; Santos, Rute; Rosário, Rafaela; Moreira, Carla; Lopes, Luís; Mota, Jorge; Martinkenas, Arvydas; García-Hermoso, AntonioTo examine the combined association of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular fitness (MF), and adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on cardiovascular risk in adolescents, a pooled study, including cross-sectional data from two projects [2477 adolescents (1320 girls) aged 12–18 years], was completed. A shuttle run test was used to assess CRF. MF was assessed by the standing-long jump and handgrip tests...
