The aim of the present review is to investigate the main field-based tests, used alone or included in sport or fitness batteries, for the assessment of health-and skill-related physical fitness components in adolescents. Different scientific databases were searched through using the selected key words related to physical fitness and its components for adolescence. The search focused on original articles and reviews/meta-analyses using valid, reproducible and feasible tests that fit within the school environment. A total of 100 scientific manuscripts were included in the qualitative synthesis. The present systematic review pointed out 5 fitness tests that well adapt to the evaluation of the components of physical fitness of adolescents within a school environment: the 20 m shuttle run test for cardio-respiratory endurance; the handgrip strength test for upper body maximal strength; the standing broad jump test for lower body maximal strength; the sit-up test to exhaustion for muscular endurance and the 4×10 m shuttle run test for speed, agility and coordination. These fitness tests have been finally selected and incorporated into the Adolescents and Surveillance System for the Obesity prevention -Fitness Test Battery (ASSO-FTB), and will be adopted within the ASSO Project for evaluation purposes. This instrument could be also provided to teachers and people working in schools in order to assess physical fitness of adolescents over time and prevent obesity and related diseases.

“…Estos resultados coinciden con los reportados en otros estudios; por ejemplo, en un estudio de Estados Unidos en el que se compararon hombres y mujeres con edades entre los 17 y los 18 años, las mujeres registraron grados de adiposidad más elevados que los hombres (42). En otro estudio reciente en adolescentes brasileños de 11 a 16 años de edad y de ambos sexos (43), se encontró que el índice de masa corporal y el grado de grasa corporal fueron mayores en las chicas que en los chicos, aunque no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los sexos a pesar de que la muestra analizada fue mucho más pequeña que la de este estudio (104 mujeres y 94 hombres).…”

“…Sin embargo, las mujeres suelen destacarse frente a los hombres en cuanto a la amplitud del movimiento articular, como se demostró en un estudio llevado a cabo en estudiantes brasileños de 11 a 16 años de edad (43). En este estudio también se compararon los grados de adiposidad y la condición física en función de la edad, pero en los hombres entre sí y las mujeres entre sí.…”

“…Así, por ejemplo, los sujetos más jóvenes (10 a 12 años) mostraron un rendimiento significativamente menor en la velocidad de desplazamiento (4,4 segundos) que el resto de grupos de edad, cuyos registros fueron mejores cuanto mayor era la edad: 4,01 segundos en el grupo de 13 a 14 años; 3,9 segundos en el de 15 a 16 años, y 3,9 segundos en el de 17 a 20 años. Resultados similares se encontraron en el salto horizontal, es decir, el grupo más joven obtuvo resultados significativamente menores que el resto de grupos de edad (149 cm, 172 cm, 192 cm, 194 cm, respectivamente), y los sujetos de más edad alcanzaron mejores resultados (cuadro 2), lo cual coincide con lo obtenido en estudios publicados recientemente (43,45,49,50). Sin embargo, la potencia aeróbica tuvo un comportamiento contrario, pues se encontró que el grupo de más edad registraba los valores más bajos (41,2 ml/kg/minuto), siendo estas diferencias estadísticamente significativas con respecto al grupo de 13 a 14 años (44,1 ml/kg/minuto) y al de 15 a 16 años (44,4 ml/kg/minuto) (cuadro 2).…”

Contribución de los autores:Constanza Palomino-Devia: trabajo de campo Ambos autores participaron en la concepción y el diseño, la revisión y la búsqueda bibliográfica, la tabulación, el análisis y la interpretación de los datos, la redacción y la revisión crítica del manuscrito, y la aprobación de su versión final. . En cuanto a la condición física, los hombres registraron un mejor rendimiento en todas las variables estudiadas, con diferencias significativas (p<0,001), excepto en la flexibilidad, en la que las mujeres alcanzaron mejores resultados (3,1 Vs. 1,3 cm; p=0,003). En ambos sexos, el índice de masa corporal aumentó con la edad (p<0,001); en los hombres, el porcentaje de grasa disminuyó con la edad (p<0,0001) y en las mujeres aumentó (p<0,001). La condición física de los hombres mejoró con la edad en todas las variables, mientras que en las mujeres no hubo diferencias significativas entre los grupos de edad, salvo en el consumo máximo de oxígeno (VO 2máx ) (p<0,001). Conclusión. La adiposidad fue significativamente mayor en las mujeres que en los hombres. Los hombres tuvieron una mejor condición física en todas las variables, excepto en la flexibilidad. En los hombres la condición física mejoró significativamente con la edad, en tanto que en las mujeres no cambió.

Objective: To analyze adiposity and physical fitness in young students from public schools in Armenia, Colombia, and examine differences between sex and age groups. Materials and methods:We analyzed 1,150 students: 46.6% (n=536) males and 53.4% (n=614) females, with an age range of 10 to 20 years (15.45 ± 2.52). Physical fitness was evaluated by the Course-Navette test, the Horizontal Jump test, the 20-meter run test and the Sit-and-Reach test. Body mass index and body fat were also assessed. Results: Compared with males, females had significantly higher adiposity levels, body mass index (20.4 vs. 19.5) and body fat (23% vs. 11%). Males had higher levels of physical fitness in all the variables analyzed, with statistically significant differences (p<0.001), except in flexibility, where females achieved better results (3.1cm vs.1 3cm; p=0.003). In both sexes, body mass index increased with age (p<0.001). However, body fat decreased with age in males (p<0.001) and increased in females (p<0.001). In males, physical fitness improved with age in all variables. In females, no significant differences were found between age groups except in the maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max , p<0.001).

Boys usually have higher values of bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry than girls, but contradictorily also have a greater incidence of fractures during growth. The purpose of this study was to investigate sex- and maturity-related differences in bone speed of sound (SoS) at the radius and tibia in a sample of 625 healthy children aged 10-14 y and to analyze the contributions of physical activity (PA) to possible dissimilarities. Radial and tibial SoS was evaluated by quantitative ultrasound, maturity was estimated as the years of distance from the peak height velocity age, and PA was assessed by accelerometry. Comparisons between sexes and maturity groups (low: below average [<-2.5 y], high: average or above [≥-2.5 y]) were made by two-sample t-tests with unequal variances. Girls in the high-maturity group had higher SoS at the radius and tibia compared with girls in the low-maturity group (p < 0.001). There were no SoS differences at the radius or tibia between the high- and low-maturity groups in boys. Within high-maturity children, girls had higher SoS than boys at the radius and tibia (p < 0.001). There were no differences at the radius and tibia between girls and boys with low maturity. The results were not modified after controlling for PA. Regardless of PA, the results provide insight into sex- and maturity-related differences in bone SoS at the distal radius and midshaft tibia from maturity less than 2.5 y from the peak height velocity age, with boys having lower SoS.
