“…Probable reason behind this was related to the skeletal muscle performance and functioning of heart and lung. The ability of the cardiorespiratory system to supply oxygen to active skeletal muscles during prolonged sub-maximal exercise and the ability of the skeletal muscles to perform aerobic metabolism is known as Cardiorespiratory Endurance [2] . The highest attainable rate of aerobic metabolism during the performance of dynamic work that exhausts the subject within 5-10 min is internationally accepted as an index of one's cardiorespiratory fitness and it is defined as VO2max [4] .…”

Background: The ability of the cardiorespiratory system to supply oxygen to active skeletal muscles during prolonged sub-maximal exercise and the ability of the skeletal muscles to perform aerobic metabolism is known as Cardiorespiratory Endurance. The highest attainable rate of aerobic metabolism during the performance of dynamic work that exhausts the subject within 5–10 min is internationally accepted as an index of one's cardiorespiratory fitness and it is defined as VO2max. A popular test used for measuring cardiorespiratory endurance (VO2max) is Cooper’s 12 min run test. A good predictor for overall health and nutritional status is BMI. This study was conducted to assess the cardiorespiratory endurance in obese college students using coopers 12 min run test. Methods: A total of 100 college students were included who met the inclusion criteria. The students were told to do 12 min coopers run test after a 5 min of warm up. After the test, the distance was recorded. Result: The result shows that the cardiorespiratory endurance is reduced in obese college students. According to the data obtained, 51% of obese participants have good cardiorespiratory endurance and 30% and 19% have fair and poor respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that the cardiorespiratory endurance is reduced in obese college students using Coopers 12 minute run test. Lower cardiorespiratory endurance has risk to develop cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and other chronic diseases. So, to improve the endurance one should reduce the weight and start exercising regularly. Keywords: [Obese college students, cardiorespiratory endurance, VO2 max]

“…Yet, few children meet the guidelines ( National Physical Activity Plan, 2014 ). The majority of PA interventions (e.g., home, school, or community-based), have yet to achieve sufficient engagement from children ( Metcalf et al, 2012 ; Thivel et al, 2018 ). The study seeks to identify child-friendly PA interventions that are both engaging and sustainable.…”

BackgroundThe incorporation of narratives helps to enhance children’s engagement in active video games (AVGs), thus increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Specific narrative elements, such as the visual representation of the characters’ body shape, have been rarely manipulated to explore their role in modulating children’s narrative engagement (NE) and exercise motivation.ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of character body shape manipulation (overweight/obese, average, or athletic slim) on children’s narrative immersion (NI), NE, wishful identification (WI), as well as their mediating effect on AVG and PA motivation.MethodsChildren ages 8–12 years old (N = 87) were randomly assigned to watch a 15-min animated video (designed for an existing AVG) in which the main characters had an overweight/obese, or average∗, or athletic slim body shape (all other elements were identical). Children’s NI, NE, WI, and AVG and physical activity (PA) motivation were then assessed.ResultsControlling for social desirability, the analysis indicated that participants with a BMI of greater than the 75th percentile had a significantly higher NI, NE, WI, and PA motivation when video characters were set to the overweight/obese condition, than they did for video characters set to the average or athletic slim conditions. On the other hand, children of equal or less than the 75th percentile exposed to the average character body condition had a greater NE, WI, and PA motivation than overweight/obese or athletic slim conditions. A mediation analysis with structural equation modeling indicated that NE mediated the effect between character body shape and AVG and PA motivation.ConclusionNarrative cartoon characters that mirror the target participant’s body shape can increase NE, which in turn mediates AVG and PA motivation. Content producers should identify optimal strategies in character body shape design to encourage children of different weight status to participate in PA with engaging stories to maximize health narratives’ persuasive potentials.∗The term average in this sense is not in reference to the national average body weight, but rather an average of the body weights represented in conditions A and C.
