“…These results may be associated with differences related to training objectives or the preference for the development of specific physical capacities. However, Torres-Luque et al 25 , found that physical performance between men and women presents fundamental changes from the age of 11, however, given the imminent hormonal development and its impact on anthropometric markers such as weight and height, qualities such as aerobic resistance tends to decrease, a situation that agrees with our results, which reflect a low performance in the resistance tests 26 . Despite the above, it is necessary to recognize the difference in sample size between men and women, so it is necessary to increase the number of women participating in the study, to make conclusive statements.…”

Introducción: Diversas investigaciones han empleado las pruebas de campo con la finalidad de establecer el fitness cardiorrespiratorio a partir del VO2máx obtenido; no obstante, en condiciones de gran altitud pueden existir variaciones que influencien el comportamiento de esta variable en sujetos sanos entrenados y no entrenados. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el VO2max obtenido mediante dos pruebas de campo: Cooper Run Test y Shuttle Run Test 20 metros (CRT y SRT-20m) y los valores obtenidos mediante ergoespirometría. Método: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal; participaron 30 sujetos entrenados (8 mujeres 22 hombres), con una edad promedio de 19,0 ± 2,2 años para las mujeres y 20,1 ± 2,1 años para los hombres. Se aplicó un análisis de varianza de una vía; posteriormente se realizó un análisis post hoc con el procedimiento de Games-Howell, que es más poderoso en muestras pequeñas (p<0.01). Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la media del VO2max para SRT-20m y el método directo, sin embargo, con respecto al CRT, se presentaron diferencias (p <0.01), reflejando la mayor precisión de la rueba SRT-20m para estimar el VO2max. en la muestra evaluada. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugirieron que SRT-20m predijo los valores de VO2máx de manera cercana a los datos reportados en ergoespirometría tanto en hombres como en mujeres que habitan a gran altitud. Se justifica la investigación adicional con tamaños de muestra más grandes.

“…Biological maturation is a factor that influences the aerobic fitness level of adolescents. This is because VO 2max increases in males throughout the period of puberty to adulthood whereas in girls, VO 2max increases only at the beginning of puberty, remaining unchanged from the end of puberty to adulthood [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Thus, it is important to emphasize that biological maturation was tested as a covariate in this study.…”

“…In adulthood, low levels of aerobic fitness are related to cardiovascular diseases, early death from all causes, diabetes, and stroke [ 3 ]. In childhood and adolescence, adequate levels of aerobic fitness can reduce obesity rates [ 4 ], promote healthy bone development [ 5 ], better academic performance [ 6 ] and mental health [ 7 ], decrease the amount of total and central body fat [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in adulthood [ 13 ].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity (PA) levels over 36 months on the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of children and adolescents. This was a longitudinal study carried out from 2016 to 2019 with 127 children and adolescents (82 males and 45 females) aged 13.5 ± 1.2 years at baseline. The 20 m shuttle run test (20 mSRT) was used to predict CRF. The questionnaires PAQ-C and PAQ-A were used to investigate PA. The 2 × 4 repeated measures ANCOVA was used, and the significance level was p ≤ 0.05. There was a linear trend in the interaction between level of PA and CRF throughout the 36-month study period in both sexes (males—distance covered: F1.78 = 4.567; p = 0.04; VO2max: F1.78 = 5.323; p = 0.02; females—distance covered: F1.41 = 6.989; p = 0.01; VO2max: F1.41 = 6.585; p = 0.01). Physically active males showed a gradual increase in CRF throughout the analyzed period. For females, CRF remained constant in the first 24 months, showing a slight increase only after 36 months in physically active ones. The findings of this study reinforce the importance of PA throughout childhood and adolescence to improve CRF.

“…Studies have shown that age is positively associated with cardiovascular fitness (Tomkinson et al, 2019), whereas body fat may be inversely related to cardiorespiratory endurance in children and adolescents (Clark et al, 2015; Gonçalves et al, 2018; Héroux et al, 2013). The relationship between age and cardiorespiratory fitness could be due to several biological parameters, such as a high muscle mass, cardiovascular maturation, and growth.…”

Background There is increasing evidence that low birth weight has a negative effect on physical fitness, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance, although the findings are inconsistent. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate whether birth weight acts as a prenatal determinant of physical fitness parameters and to determine the role of environmental or biological variables on this effect. Methods One hundred and sixty‐seven children aged 6–14 years were included in this study. The anthropometric data, physical activity index, standing long jump, flexibility, handgrip strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness were evaluated. Results A positive correlation was found between birth weight and cardiorespiratory fitness (r = .349; p < .001), right handgrip strength (r = .337; p < .001), and left handgrip strength (r = .320; p < .001), suggesting that children with low birth weight had the worst performance in both cardiorespiratory endurance and grip strength tests. These findings remained significant after adjustment for prematurity, sex, age, physical activity index, and body mass index (BMI). Stepwise multiple regression analyses revealed a significant interaction of high birth weight, older age, and low BMI in predicting better cardiorespiratory endurance (R2 = .308). When handgrip strength was tested as the dependent variable, we found that high birth weight, male sex, and older age emerged as important determinants for both sides. Conclusion Children aged 6–14 years born with a birth weight < 2.5 kg have low handgrip strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, which seems to be mediated partially by influences of both prenatal environment (e.g., birth weight) and biological variables (e.g., age, sex, BMI).
