“…Further, in accordance with our results other studies have shown that PF at baseline was inverse and significantly associated with adiposity (BMI and skinfolds), as well as other CVD risk factors (24). Besides, a study showed that low-fit children were more likely to be BMI gainers than those classified as fit at baseline (25).…”

Participants highly fit at baseline were those who showed positive changes in PAI over ! 3 , decreased changes ST and had the lowest increase in BMI over three years compared with who were low-fit at baseline.Conclusions: Changes in BMI were associated with changes in fitness over 3 years.However, changes in PAI were the best predictor for changes in Fitness in each year and over the 3 years of evaluation in youth.

“…Because of the fact that the progression of cardiovascular diseases has begun from childhood to adulthood, the risks shouldn't be ignored and the preventive precautions should be taken on time (Aires et al, 2011). The cardiovascular diseases depending upon the decrease in the physical activity level and the spread of sedentary lifestyle have showed increased with the adulthood period (Kvaavik et al, 2009). In this study, it has been thought that the evaluation of physical fitness and physical activity levels of adolescents on time and the preventive precautions have been helpful to prevent the possible diseases.…”

Tanir, H. Gucluover, A. & Cigerci, A. (2014). The evaluation of physical activity and physical fitness levels of the adolescents staying in the orphanage. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 9(Proc1), pp.S436-S444. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the physical activity and physical fitness levels of the adolescents who have stayed in the orphanage, to comment on the current situation of the playfields in which adolescents have participated the sport and recreational activities and to support the legislative regulations about the administration of the orphanages. The sample of the study was 83 adolescents (n=32 girls, n=51 boys and age=15.67±1.27) from Konya Orphanage. The physical activity levels of the subjects were evaluated by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (CFAO) adapted to Turkish from the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) developed by Crocker et al (1997). Fitnessgram Test Battery was also used for the physical fitness levels of the subjects. According to gender, it was seen that there were some statistically significant differences in favor of boys in the anthropometric and physiological features (height, weight, BMI, VO2max). As it was understood that there were no significant differences in the push-up and sit-up test scores between the boys and girls, there were significant differences in the flexibility test scores in favor of girls. According to age and gender, 18,1% (n=15) of the subjects took part in the Needs Improvement-Health Risk (NI-HR), 19,3% (n=16) of them took part in the Needs Improvement (NI), 62,7% (n=52) of them took part in the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) in aerobic capacity parameter (VO2max ml/kg/min); besides in Body Mass Index (BMI) parameter 13,3% (n=11) of the subjects took part in the Needs Improvement-Health Risk (NI-HR), 15,7% (n=13) of them took part in the Needs Improvement (NI), 71,1% (n=59) of them took part in the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ). It was also understood that 53% (n=44) of the subjects were inactive, 32,5% (n=27) of them were mid-active, 14,5% (n=12) of them were active. As a conclusion, it was seen that the adolescents who participated in the study were healthy according to the body composition, aerobic capacity and physical fitness standards determined by The Cooper Institute (2010). However, according to the classification which was applied in view of the reference values by Tanır (2013), it was concluded that most of the adolescents were inactive or mid-active in terms of physical activity. Even though the playfields in the orphanages were efficient, it has been thought that the legislative regulations for the reformation and diversification of the current playfields and organizing the recreational activities will not only support the maintenance and improvement of the current physical fitness levels of adolescents and also cause to enhancement in their physical activity levels.

Physical Fitness and Physical Activity at Age 13 Years as Predictors of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors at Ages 15, 25, 33, and 40 Years: Extended Follow-up of the Oslo Youth Study

Abstract: Although childhood physical fitness seems to reveal some inverse associations with obesity and blood pressure in early adulthood, these effects diminished markedly into middle age.
