“…Our conclusions agree with previous findings that pointed out association between biological maturation and cardiorespiratory fitness among boys. Batista et al 11 discovered that biological maturation was associated with cardiorespiratory fitness using a sample of non-athlete boys and the association lost the significance when scaled by size descriptors, indicating that the effect of biological maturation should pass through changes in body size characteristics. Moreover, using both sexes, Armstrong et al 24 found that biological maturation was independent from body mass in the association with aerobic fitness.…”

“…On the other hand, although girls also present improvements in cardiovascular function during puberty, one of the main effects of the maturation process (female sexual hormones) is an increase in relative body fat mass, impacting on performance in tests that demand body displacement 7 . Therefore, even the association between biological maturation and aerobic fitness being well stablished in cross-sectional studies, 10 , 11 evidence of the association how biological maturation can influence aerobic fitness from childhood to adolescence is not clear, especially among girls.…”

Objective: To evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness’ tracking from childhood to adolescence, as well as to test the moderation role of somatic maturation.Methods: Our sample was composed by 375 children (197 boys), with a baseline age between 7 and 10 years old. The children were followed-up over three years. Body mass and stature were measured as anthropometric indicators and were used to estimate maturity status through Moore’s method. Cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated through 9-minute running test. Body adiposity was estimated through the subcutaneous skinfold method, with measures of triceps and subscapular skinfolds and used as a covariate. Sample was categorized into tertiles. Thereafter, the Kappa (k) coefficient and Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (LCCC) tests were adopted to verify stability. Dummy variable in regression was used to test moderation effects. All analyses were conducted in Stata 14.0, adopting p<0.05.Results: Cardiorespiratory fitness presented a moderate to low tracking from childhood to adolescence (k=0.294; LCCC=0.458). Moreover, maturity status significantly moderated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness at childhood and adolescence (regardless of cohort and body adiposity) among boys (β=0.644; p=0.003) and role sample (β=0.184; p=0.020), but not girls (-0.217; p=0.413).Conclusions: Tracking of cardiorespiratory fitness from childhood to adolescence is moderate to low in both sexes. Moreover, maturity status moderated the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline and in adolescence. A lower age at peak height velocity was associated to a greater cardiorespiratory fitness.
