Objectively Measured Aerobic Fitness is Not Related to Vascular Health Outcomes and Cardiovascular Disease Risk In 9-10 Year Old Children.

The purpose of the study was to examine whether a higher aerobic fitness in 9-10 year old children is related to superior macro and microvascular health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Ninety-six 9-10 year olds (53 boys) completed the study. Body composition was assessed from air displacement plethysmography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Aerobic Function and Muscle Deoxygenation Dynamics during Ramp Exercise in Children.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize changes in deoxyhemoglobin ([HHb]) response dynamics in boys and girls during ramp incremental exercise to investigate whether the reduced peak oxygen uptake (peak V˙O2) in girls is associated with poorer matching of muscle O2 delivery to muscle O2 utilization, as evidenced by a more rapid increase in [HHb].

Methods: Fifty-two children (31 boys, 9.9 ± 0.

The pattern of physical activity in relation to health outcomes in boys.

Objective: Spontaneous and transitory movement patterns are characteristic of children. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between short, frequent activity bouts and children's health.

Methods: Physical activity was recorded every 2 s by accelerometry (ActiGraph GT1M) for seven days in 47 boys (age 8-10 years).

Motivational interviewing for modifying diabetes risk: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Around 10-15% of adults aged over 40 years have pre-diabetes, which carries a high risk of progression to type 2 diabetes. Intensive lifestyle intervention reduces progression by as much as 58%. However, the cost and personnel requirements of these interventions are major obstacles to delivery in NHS primary care.
