“…The sample of participants was only female in five studies [ 34 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 43 ], while only one study had male participants only [ 47 ]. There were eight studies where the sample of participants was from the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education students [ 30 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 40 , 41 , 43 ], only one study had Criminal Police Academy students [ 36 ], while the rest of the studies had participants from different universities and faculties [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

The aim of this systematic review was to examine the scientific evidence regarding physical activity and physical fitness among university students. The search and analysis of the studies were done in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. An electronic databases search (Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus) yielded 11,839 studies. Subsequently, the identified studies had to be published in English between 2011 and 2021, the experimental study had to have included males and females attending a faculty, and the participants had to have been evaluated for physical activity and fitness. A total of 21 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis, with a total of 7306 participants, both male and female. After analyzing the obtained results, it could be concluded that university students show a satisfactory level of physical activity and physical fitness. However, the results vary due to different factors involved, mostly related to the cultural differences and educational systems in different countries. As this study observes mediocre results of physical activity and physical fitness among university students, it is crucial to get their attention and awareness, to at least maintain a satisfactory level of physical activity and physical fitness.

“…A aptidão física se relaciona com níveis de saúde e desempenho motor, impactando hábitos de vida e percepção de qualidade de vida e bem estar (GARBER et al, 2011;RIBEIRO et al, 2013). Os níveis de aptidão física podem ser conhecidos por meio de medidas antropométricas, como o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e Razão Cintura Estatura (RCE), que possuem o objetivo de apontar para possíveis tendências de sobrepeso, gordura abdominal e obesidade, e por testes que mensurem as capacidades físicas vinculadas à saúde ou ao desempenho motor: resistência aeróbia, flexibilidade, velocidade, agilidade e as diferentes manifestações de força (GAYA; GAYA, 2016; GUEDES, 2011).…”

Factors related to lower limb performance in children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years: A systematic review with meta-analysis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The literature identifies several factors that are associated with lower limb performance (LLP). However, there is little consensus on which factors have the major associations with LLP. Objective Examine, analyze and summarize the scientific evidence on the factors associated with the performance of LLP in children and adolescents of both sexes aged between 7 and 17 years. Design This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement and was registered in PROSPERO. Data sources A systematic literature search of five electronic databases (i.e., SPORTDiscus, PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS) with date restrictions was conducted (2010 to 2021). Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Eligibility criteria included (i) a study published between 2010 and 2021; (ii) a research study with observational design; (iii) a study analyzing LLP; and (iv) a sample composed of young people between 7 and 17 years old (regardless of sex). Analyses Literature analysis was carried out in English and Portuguese between 2018 and 2021, “blindly” by two researchers. For data sorting, Rayyan® was used. Data extraction and evidence analysis were performed “blindly”, using the Loney scale. The minimum items for observational studies were analyzed by the STROBE checklist. Meta-analyses were conducted based on age group (Childhood [7 to 11 Yrs] and Adolescence [12 to 17 Yrs]) and puberty stages (i.e., Prepupertal and Pubertal). The heterogeneity between the samples of the studies was assessed using the “Cochran’s Q” and “I^2” statistics. Meta-regression analyses were performed to check the factors related to heterogeneity of the studies and to check the associations between chronological age and LLP. Results The literature search resulted in 1,109,650 observational studies of which 39 were included in this review. Through Meta-analysis and Meta-regressions, it was possible to indicate that advancing chronological age related to increased LLP (p<0.01), and that in relation to puberty stages pubertal subjects had higher LLP than their pre-pubertal peers (p<0.01). Discussion The main findings of the present systematic review suggest that as chronological age advances (childhood to adolescence), neuromuscular systems mature and this may be due to advancing puberty, which is also associated with an increase in LLP. Conclusion The factors associated with lower limbs performance are still inconsistent in the literature. However, advancing chronological age and stage of puberty are both associated with increased lower limbs performance. Trial registration ID-PROSPERO-CRD42020137925.
