Background Functional tests are important clinical tools, since they are non-invasive methods, with simple applicability, and low cost. However, there are few tests adapted for individuals with chronic low back pain. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the 2-Minute Step Test in individuals with chronic low back pain and to correlate the test score with measures of pain and physical activity. Methods We included patients aged between 18 and 45 years, of both sexes, and with low back pain. The interval between the test and retest was 7 days. We analyzed the data via intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), confidence interval at 95%, standard error of measurement, and minimum detectable change for reliability. We used the Spearman’s correlation coefficient to verify the correlation between 2-Minute Step Test and measures of pain and physical activity (Numerical Pain Scale, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, Pain-Related Catastrophizing Thoughts Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, and Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire). Results Sample is composed of 37 individuals, most of them female, with overweight and low back pain > 60 months. 2-Minute Step Test showed excellent test-retest (ICC = 0.903) and inter-rater (ICC = 0.925) reliability. Sport domain of the Baecke showed a significant correlation with the 2-Minute Step Test (rho = 0.444). Conclusion 2-Minute Step Test is a reliable measure to measure the functional capacity of patients with chronic low back pain considering different times and examiners, as well as being positively correlated with sports practice.

“…This approach also eliminated the necessity to analyze categories of pubertal timing, avoiding limitations of cut‐offs (Malina & Kozieł, 2014; Rauch, Bailey, Baxter‐Jones, Mirwald, & Faulkner, 2004). Recently, Werneck et al (2018), showed a significant correlation between chronological age and PHV estimates, derived from the maturity offset estimation method. On the other hand, it is possible that the fact that we used the Mirwald et al (2002) equation to determine PHV may have influenced the result of stature mediation, since this same anthropometric variable is already used to determine the biological maturation in the equation mentioned above.…”

Youth swimming performance may be influenced by anthropometric and body composition factors during growth. Propulsive force of the arm (PFA) is highly related to swimming performance as 85-90% of the propulsive power comes from the arms. The current study analyzed the mediating effect of biological maturation on the relationship between anthropometric variables and body composition with PFA in young swimmers. A total of 128 swimmers [boys: n = 53, age = 13.6 (1.8) y; girls: n = 75, age = 12.5 (1.8) y] were evaluated. Propulsive force of the arm was estimated by the tethered swimming test. Anthropometric characteristics (body mass, stature, sitting height, arm span, arm muscle area, % body fat, and fat-free mass) were evaluated. Biological maturation was estimated by the age of peak height velocity. Mediation analyses were performed using the Preacher and Hayes bootstrapping method, adjusted for chronological age and sex. All anthropometric and body composition variables, except %body fat, were positively associated with PFA, being mediated by biological maturation. Indirect effects and 95% confidence intervals were: body mass [.20 (.09-.34)], stature [.22 (.11-.43)], arm span [0.17 (.05-.31)], arm muscle area [.74 (.38-1.19)] and fat free-mass [.17 (.05-.34)]. In conclusion, biological maturation mediated the positive associations between body size and composition and PFA in young swimmers.

“…Differences in leisure time behaviors by maturity status may also contribute to differences in dietary intake and eating behaviors in girls. Late maturing girls have been shown to be more physically active and more likely to participate in sports compared to their peers [42]. The loss of interest in physical activity (PA) and sports can be at least partially be attributed to changes in physical and functional characteristics that are associated with maturation, which are generally considered hindering successful participation in sports.…”

Background: Dietary intake plays an important role in the development and health of children and adolescents. Puberty is a particularly vulnerable period due to the increased nutrient demands associated with growth. This age range has also been associated with various changes in health behavior. While several studies have examined the influence of the social and built environment on dietary habits during adolescence, there remains limited research on the association between biological maturation and eating behaviors as well as food intake in youth. Methods:This cross-sectional study includes data from 165 participants (55% male) between 11 and 16 years of age. The study protocol was approved by the University of Innsbruck Institutional Review Board as well as the school board and principals of the participating schools. Body weight and height was measured with an electronic scale and a portable stadiometer during a regular physical education class with participants wearing gym clothes and being barefoot. Subsequently, maturity offset was calculated, and biological maturation was determined based on estimated age at peak height velocity. A standardized questionnaire administered during regular class-time was used to assess dietary intake and eating habits. Principal component analysis revealed 3 main factors for food intake (meat/carbohydrates, milk/cereal, water/low fast food), which were used in the analyses.Results: There were no differences in eating habits between boys and girls. Boys, however, displayed higher scores for the meat/CHO factor while their scores for the water/low fast food factor was lower compared to girls. There was no difference in eating habits or dietary intake across maturity tertiles in boys. Late maturing girls, however, reported less frequent lunch and dinner as well as higher milk/cereal factor scores compared to their peers. Conclusion:Biological maturation appears to contribute to changes in dietary intake and eating habits, particularly in girls. Late maturing girls may be at particular risk for irregular eating patterns. Family meals, therefore, may be an important component in the establishment of healthy dietary patterns in adolescents.
