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...
Classes of developmental trajectories of body mass index
Lopes, Vítor P.; Utesch, Till; Rodrigues, Luis PauloThe purpose was to identify classes of different developmental trajectories of BMI and testing them for differences in motor competence (MC) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), in children and adolescents (4 to 13 years of age). This was a 5 years’ longitudinal study with six cohorts. One hundred and forty-seven children (69 girls) divided into six cohorts participated. At baseline, the youngest and the oldest...
