“…The 20mSRT lends itself well to population-based surveillance because it is easy to administer, requires minimal equipment, and can be used to assess large groups of children simultaneously [ 9 ]. Furthermore, several studies have identified favourable associations between 20mSRT performance and aspects of PL among children and youth, including physical fitness [ 10 ], daily physical activity [ 11 ], cognitive ability [ 12 , 13 ], and psychosocial health [ 14 , 15 ].…”

BackgroundThe associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical literacy in children are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between CRF, measured using the 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT), and components of physical literacy among Canadian children aged 8–12 years.MethodsA total of 9393 (49.9% girls) children, with a mean (SD) age of 10.1 (±1.2) years, from a cross-sectional surveillance study were included for this analysis. The SRT was evaluated using a standardized 15 m or 20 m protocol. All 15 m SRTs were converted to 20mSRT values using a standardized formula. The four domains of physical literacy (Physical Competence, Daily Behaviour, Motivation and Confidence, and Knowledge and Understanding) were measured using the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy. Tertiles were identified for 20mSRT laps, representing low, medium, and high CRF for each age and gender group. Cohen’s d was used to calculate the effect size between the low and high CRF groups.ResultsCRF was strongly and favourably associated with all components of physical literacy among school-aged Canadian children. The effect size between low and high CRF tertile groups was large for the Physical Competence domain (Cohen’s d range: 1.11–1.94) across age and gender groups, followed by moderate to large effect sizes for Motivation and Confidence (Cohen’s d range: 0.54–1.18), small to moderate effect sizes for Daily Behaviour (Cohen’s d range: 0.25–0.81), and marginal to moderate effect sizes for Knowledge and Understanding (Cohen’s d range: 0.08–0.70).ConclusionsThis study identified strong favourable associations between CRF and physical literacy and its constituent components in children aged 8–12 years. Future research should investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the 20mSRT in screening those with low physical literacy levels.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5896-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…En este sentido, las mujeres presentaron valores de adiposidad significativamente mayores que los hombres, y lo mismo sucedió con el índice de masa corporal y el porcentaje de grasa; además, en esta última variable el tamaño del efecto fue considerable (eta al cuadrado=0,432). 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).…”

“…Estos resultados son de esperar, ya que los chicos suelen tener mejor rendimiento en las variables físicas relacionadas con la fuerza muscular o la potencia aeróbica, como se comprobó en el estudio llevado a cabo con jóvenes de entre 17 y 18 años en los que los varones registraron valores de VO 2máx significativamente mayores (42). 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 la mayoría de los estudios en los cuales se han comparado diferentes indicadores de condición física en chicos y chicas de diferentes edades, se han encontrado resultados similares (42,54,56). En general, las mujeres muestran mejores resultados de flexibilidad que los hombres y, aunque estas diferencias fueron estadísticamente significativas en los grupos más jóvenes (p=0,01 en el grupo de 10 a 12 años y p=0,001 en el grupo de 13 a 14 años), disminuyeron hasta no ser estadísticamente significativas al comparar los grupos de mayor edad (p=0,556 en el grupo de 15 a 16 años y p=0,656 en el grupo de 17 a 20 años).…”

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).

“…Research indicates that secondary school students often lack knowledge and/or hold misconceptions concerning healthy behaviors (e.g., physical activity, physical fitness, nutrition) 74 , 75 , 76 . Other studies document a positive relationship between fitness knowledge and participation in physical activity 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 . There is also evidence that CPE programs can improve physical fitness and physical activity knowledge 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 .…”

Highlights CPE courses (classes), based on physical education standards (physical literacy) and fitness education benchmarks, use text materials and classroom sessions to teach kinesiology concepts, principles, and self-management skills. CPE is a mature innovation at the college level and is now widely used in secondary schools. CPE works. Evidence shows that it promotes out-of-school physical activity and builds knowledge and motivation to be active. Knowledge gained in CPE is central to achieving physical literacy. A well-delivered CPE course can provide a strong foundation for elective and advanced physical education classes. Simply put, if secondary physical education is to thrive in the future, we can and should make knowledge-based CPE programs a central component. CPE can help physical education achieve its potential for becoming a renaissance profession in the 21st century (as per Park's prediction).
