“…The questionnaire had a Kappa agreement index for the Brazilian population of 68.6% and the question used in the present study had a Kappa agreement index of 72% ( 54 ). The instrument's response options were categorized into “inadequate” (option 0 – almost never; option 1 – rarely; and option 2 – sometimes), and “adequate” (option 3 – relatively often; and option 4 – almost always), as explained in the questionnaire itself ( 55 ).…”

AimTo propose cutoff points for anthropometric indicators for high blood pressure (HBP) screening in adolescents and to identify, among these indicators, those more accurately for boys and girls.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out in the city of São José, SC, Brazil with 634 adolescents aged 14 to 19 years. Blood pressure levels were measured using a digital oscillometric sphygmomanometer and adolescents were classified as having HBP or not. Anthropometric indicators were calculated based on anthropometric measurements such as body mass (BM), height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and triceps, subscapularis, suprailiac, and midcalf skinfold thickness (SF). The Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive capacity of anthropometric indicators in the identification of HBP.ResultsHigher values of Area Under the Curve (AUC) were for the anthropometric indicators BM (0.67; 95%CI: 0.62–0.72), body mass index (BMI) (0.67; 95%CI: 0.62–0.72), and WC (0.67; 95%CI: 0.62–0.71) for males. For females, no anthropometric indicator had discriminatory power for HBP screening. The cutoff points for the anthropometric indicators with discriminatory power for HBP screening in males were BM > 64.80 Kg, BMI > 21.76 Kg/m2, fat percentage (FP) > 15.75, waist height to ratio (WHtR) > 0.41, WC > 73.00 cm, and HC > 92.25 cm.ConclusionAnthropometric indicators of body adiposity had greater discriminatory power of HBP screening in males. For females, caution is suggested because the anthropometric indicators showed AUC values (95%CI) below 0.60.

“…Evidence postulates associations between the level of MC and the health of individuals considering both genders, which include the level of physical activity, private and public schools, body mass index (BMI), and others 3 . In the scope of sports, studies concerning MC showed a positive correlation between MC and the participation in sports practice, which infers that this is a predictor of sports development for young athletes [4][5][6][7] in different sports.…”

This study investigated the impact of a handball-teaching program through the understanding of the TGfU on motor coordination (MC) and technical skills of students. Methods: The sample consisted of 43 students of both genders, with a mean age of 14.3 years (± 0.46), divided into two groups, G1 -Teaching Games of Understanding (TGfU) and G2 -TGfU + MC, and both received 20 classes. We used the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) for the assessment of MC and the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) for technical skills in handball. Results:The categorization confirmed the reliability of the application of teaching programs and the results showed that, after the intervention, both groups presented meaningful improvements in MC, considering time and gender effect. The female students presented a larger impact on MC in both teaching programs, while the male students obtained a larger impact in the technical skill execution index when received the TGfU + MC model. Still, the relative frequency for the classification of a good MC increased in both groups after the intervention, and the normal MC was the one with the highest frequency in both groups and genders after the proposed program. Conclusion: We concluded that the teaching program was able to provide meaningful improvements in MC considering both groups and that the proposal of the inclusion of specific MC elevated the impact of technical skills for male students.
