Impact of physical growth, body adiposity and lifestyle on muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness of adolescents.
Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies 2017 October
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of physical growth, body adiposity and lifestyle on cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength of pubescent and post-pubescent adolescents.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 1132 adolescents (14-19 years) in Brazil. Aerobic fitness was measured using the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test. Muscle strength was assessed using manual dynamometer. Maturational stages were defined through the Tanner criteria.
RESULTS: Boys at pubertal maturation stage showed higher VO2 max values than those at the post-pubertal stage when the influence of body adiposity and lifestyle was disregarded. Girls at pubertal maturation stage showed higher VO2 max values than those in the post-pubertal stage when the influence of age was disregarded. For muscle strength, no significant differences were found.
CONCLUSIONS: The variables that influence the association between VO2 max and maturational stage are different for boys and girls.
