Developmental pathways of fitness, and not baseline, predict fitness status at ...
Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Stodden, David F.; Lopes, Vítor P.It is generally described that children fitness levels increase along childhood. Complementary to this idea is the notion that the tracking of children’s fitness is good to moderate during this developmental time, and that baseline (initial values) of fitness are determinant on fitness development. The importance of developmental pathways has been recently reinforced by a theoretical argument that predicts that...
Correlation between BMI and motor coordination in children
Lopes, Vítor P.; Stodden, David F.; Bianchi, Mafalda M.; Maia, José A.R.; Rodrigues, Luis PauloObjectives: 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...
Associations between weight status and motor coordination during childhood
Lopes, Vítor P.; Stodden, David F.; Rodrigues, Luis PauloOrdinarily the relationship between obesity, physical activity (PA) and motor coordination (MC) is analyzed having in mind that low levels of PA cause obesity and low MC. But MC was found to be predictor of both PA (Lopes et al. 2011) and adiposity (Lopes et al. 2011). The purpose of this study is to analyze the association between MC and weight status. Methods Participants were 6,625 children (boys n = 3,34...
