The main purpose of this study was to construct reference standards for physical fitness (PF) values, and to graphically highlight differences between Vouzela children and adolescents’ PF levels with those from other national and international references samples. Sample comprised 1920 children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years. PF was assessed by five tests: handgrip, standing jump, shuttle run, 50-yard dash a...
Introdução: A associação entre maturação esquelética, estatuto sócio-económico e índice de massa corporal foi investigada numa amostra longitudinal mista de crianças e adolescentes portugueses (251 raparigas e 256 rapazes), dos 7 aos 18 anos de idade.Métodos: A maturação esquelética foi estimada a partir das radiografias da mão e do punho esquerdos, usando o método Tanner-Whitehouse II. O estatuto sócio-económi...

Objectives: To analyze the association between motor coordination (MC) and body mass index (BMI) across childhood and early adolescence. Design: This study is cross-sectional. Methods: Data were collected in 7175 children (boys n = 3616, girls n = 3559), ages 6–14 years. BMI was calculated from measured height and weight [body mass (kg)/height (m2)]. Motor coordination was evaluated using Kiphard-Schilling’s bo...
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of motor coordination (MC), physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) on the development of subcutaneous adiposity in a sample of children followed longitudinally from 6 to 10 years of age. Participants were 142 girls and 143 boys. Height, weight, and the triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured annually between the ages of 6 and 10 years. PA ...
