“…As a huge metabolic organ, skeletal muscle also plays a significant part in the decomposition of glucose, so skeletal muscle index can also reflect the metabolic health of the body [ 11 , 30 ]. What is more, since the duration of MVPA is significantly declined after girls reach puberty, physical activity intervention such as interview and feedback for girls before puberty is also essential [ 5 ]. Intervening in MVPA level from pre-puberty may prepare girls for healthier skeletal muscle mass and strong body later in life.…”

The relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) performance time and body muscle mass and stiffness index in pre-puberty school-aged girls has not been fully elucidated. The effect of sexual maturity on bone mass is more pronounced in girls. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between MVPA performance time and the above-mentioned factors. This was a prospective, population-based cohort study of 111 girls aged 7–10 years. Data were collected via medical examination, clinical measurements, and questionnaires. Spearman’s ρ analysis was used to determine the association between skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and stiffness index, muscle strength, and MVPA performance time. Participants who met the recommended MVPA level accounted for only 24.3% (n = 27) of all participating girls (n = 111). The following factors were significantly positively correlated with MVPA level at spearman’s ρ analysis: SMI (r = 0.303, p = 0.001), stiffness index (r = 0.229, p = 0.015), grip strength (r = 0.283, p = 0.003), back muscle strength (r = 0.197, p = 0.038), and standing long jump distance (r = 0.288, p = 0.002). Multiple regression analysis’s results revealed that SMI (β = 0.237; p = 0.024) was associated with MVPA performance time. These results can help school-aged girls to pay adequate attention to having healthy physical activity habits to prevent the decline of skeletal muscle mass, stiffness index, and body muscle strength.

“…Low MVPA performance has been associated with higher cardiometabolic risk factors [ 4 ]. At the same time, physical activity intervention can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in overweight girls [ 5 ].…”

Background Prevention of obesity in adolescents is an international public health priority. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is over 25% in North and South America, Australia, most of Europe, and the Gulf region. Interventions that aim to prevent obesity involve strategies that promote healthy diets or ‘activity’ levels (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and/or sleep) or both, and work by reducing energy intake and/or increasing energy expenditure, respectively. There is uncertainty over which approaches are more effective, and numerous new studies have been published over the last five years since the previous version of this Cochrane Review. Objectives To assess the effects of interventions that aim to prevent obesity in adolescents by modifying dietary intake or ‘activity’ levels, or a combination of both, on changes in BMI, zBMI score and serious adverse events. Search methods We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was February 2023. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials in adolescents (mean age 12 years and above but less than 19 years), comparing diet or 'activity' interventions (or both) to prevent obesity with no intervention, usual care, or with another eligible intervention, in any setting. Studies had to measure outcomes at a minimum of 12 weeks post baseline. We excluded interventions designed primarily to improve sporting performance. Data collection and analysis We used standard Cochrane methods. Our outcomes were BMI, zBMI score and serious adverse events, assessed at short‐ (12 weeks to < 9 months from baseline), medium‐ (9 months to < 15 months) and long‐term (≥ 15 months) follow‐up. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence for each outcome. Main results This review includes 74 studies (83,407 participants); 54 studies (46,358 participants) were included in meta‐analyses. Sixty studies were based in high‐income countries. The main setting for intervention delivery was schools (57 studies), followed by home (nine studies), the community (five studies) and a primary care setting (three studies). Fifty‐one interventions were implemented for less than nine months; the shortest was conducted over one visit and the longest over 28 months. Sixty‐two studies declared non‐industry funding; five were funded in part by industry. Dietary interventions versus control The evidence is very uncertain about the effects of dietary interventions on body mass index (BMI) at short‐term follow‐up (mean difference (MD) ‐0.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) ‐0.41 to 0.06; 3 studies, 605 participants), medium‐term follow‐up (MD ‐0.65, 95% CI ‐1.18 to ‐0.11; 3 studies, 900 participants), and standardised BMI (zBMI) at long‐term follow‐up (MD ‐0.14, 95% CI ‐0.38 to 0.10; 2 studies, 1089 participants); all very low‐certainty evidence.
