[Physical fitness in children and adolescents categorized by fat mass level].

Unlabelled: Physical fitness is one of the important health markers as a predictor of cardiovascular disease mor bidity and mortality.

Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between fat mass with anthropome tric indicators and, secondly, to compare the performance of physical fitness among children and adolescents categorized with adequate and excess fat mass.

Subjects And Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 863 schoolchildren aged 6 to 17.

Fat-free mass and maturity status are determinants of physical fitness performance in schoolchildren and adolescents.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to verify whether (FFM), maturity status (MS) and chronological age (CA) are determinants of physical fitness performance, and to analyze FFM and physical performance aligned by CA and MS in children and adolescents.

Methods: A descriptive correlational study was carried out in 863 schoolchildren. Weight, height, and waist circumference (WC) were evaluated.

Validation of a Self-Perceived Adaptive Behaviors Scale in Older Chilean Women and Percentiles for Evaluation.

Healthy ageing means optimizing opportunities that allow older individuals to participate actively in society without discrimination. Learning adaptive behaviors (AB) may be extremely important for individuals for all stages of life. The goal of this study was: (a) to create a scale for self-perceived adaptive behavior, and (b) propose percentiles for evaluating AB in older adult women.
