Introduction We aimed to analyze the cross‐sectional and longitudinal association of physical activity (PA) levels and PA patterns with metabolic syndrome score (MetS) in children and adolescents. Methods A total of 175 children (82 females) and 188 adolescents (95 females) were included. Objective PA levels and patterns were determined by acceler...

We aimed to analyse the longitudinal association between physical fitness (PF) and body composition (BC) with a metabolic risk score (Met4) in children and adolescents and to elucidate whether the association between PF and Met4 differs when using relativized or absolute fitness variables. A total of 188 children (86 females) and 195 adolescents (9...

Background: Active commuting could provide an opportunity to counteract unhealthy behaviours, such as insufficient levels of Physical Activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour, which are major health problems in the university population. The aims of this study were to describe and compare self-reported and device-measured in commuting behaviours, PA,...

INTRODUCTION: Insufficient level of physical activity (PA), and higher sedentary behaviour are a serious health concern among university students. Active commuting, such as walking or cycling, provides an opportunity to increase PA levels, and decrease time spent in sedentary behaviour. PURPOSE: This study aims to describe, compare and identify ass...

Gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia are hypertensive disorders which are the world’s leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Currently, evidences support the benefit of moderate physical exercise (PE) during uncomplicated pregnancies in the prevention of HTG and pre-eclampsia. However, there is no evidence on which kind of trainin...

This study aimed to analyse the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and fatness and fitness in preschoolers. 2,638 preschoolers (3–5 years old; 47.2% girls) participated. SES was estimated from the parental educational and occupational levels, and the marital status. Fatness was assessed by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC)...
