“…Also except the obese subjects, other counterparts were not different in performing the sit and reach test. Some studies reported no relationship between obesity and flexibility [ 21 , 29 ] , which our results are not accordance with. The results of this study found no differences for flamingo balance among BMI categories which is in agreement with the results of Raudsepp et al [ 24 ] and adversely is in contrast to the results of Deforche et al [ 30 ] .…”

“…However, overweight and obese children can perform equally well, such as sit and reach [ 20 , 21 ] and flamingo balance [ 24 ] ; or even better, such as handgrip strength test [ 25 , 26 ] than children with normal weight in those muscular fitness tests where their body does not have to be transported. Higher hand grip strength was found in both overweight and obese subjects than normal weight and underweight subjects, which is in agreement with other studies [ 25 , 26 ] .…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in physical fitness, physical activity, and sedentary activities among 7 to 11 year old boys with varying body mass index in Ardabil, Iran. Methods:The sample consisted of 766 boys who participated in eight weight bearing (1 mile walk/run, sit ups, standing long jump, vertical jump, shuttle run 4 × 10 m, 30-meter sprint, pull ups, pushups) and four non-weight-bearing physical fitness tests (flamingo balance, handgrip; sit and reach and finger reaction time). Physical activity and sedentary activities were assessed by questionnaires. Body mass index (BMI) was computed to classify participants into normal weight, underweight, overweight and obese groups. Results:The prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity was 10.7%, 14.1% and 4.2% respectively. Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO 2max ) decreased progressively as the BMI increased and differences among the all body mass index categories were significant (P<0.01). Obese subjects performed worse in all weight bearing fitness tests than normal weight subjects (P<0.01). Moreover, overweight subjects performed worse in one mile, pushups and pull ups than normal weight subjects (P<0.01). Underweight subjects had significantly lower Pushups than normal weight subjects (P<0.01). Obese subjects had significantly higher sedentary activities and lower physical activity than other counterparts (P<0.01). Conclusions:This study showed that weight bearing physical fitness, cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity progressively decreased as the BMI increased and conversely, sedentary activities increased as the BMI increased.

“…These studies have given rise to the development of the second edition of the CAPL (CAPL-2), which is currently suggested to be used as a valid and reliable tool for assessing PL in 8-12 year old children (Longmuir et al, 2018a). In Greece, researchers have documented children's progress in various PL domains by examining the relationships between PA, motor competence and perceived motor competence (Afthentopoulou et al, 2018), daily PA and fitness (Kamtsios and Diggelidis, 2007), participation motives (Papaioannou et al, 2006) or self-perceived motivational climate (Sevdali et al, 2017). However, studies of this kind have been conducted under a more conventional and linear perspective.…”

Physical literacy (PL) is recognized as a channel for promoting holistic learning experiences within physical education (PE). Compared to conceptual advancements made in regard to its development, PL assessment lacks empirical evidence. The purpose of this study was to culturally adapt the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy – 2 (CAPL-2) and assess its construct validity in Greek children aged 8–12 years. Participants were 576 children (boys = 268, girls = 308; mean age = 10.22 years, standard deviation = 1.27), from Greek geographical locations. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) compared the present sample data to a suggested theoretical model. Analysis of variance models and frequency tabulations were used to examine age and gender associations with CAPL-2 scores. CFA results established a good fit for the data and supported a model with four interrelated domains (χ2(67) = 122.751, p < 0.01; root mean square error of approximation = 0.038; comparative fit index = 0.906; and Tucker–Lewis index = 0.873). Boys’ and older children’s physical competence was higher. Girls and older children scored lower in daily physical activity (PA) behaviour. Knowledge scores depicted misunderstandings in participants’ answers, which can be attributed to enacted Greek PE practices. Motivation was high across age groups and both genders, demonstrating that PA participation is prioritized for Greek children. CAPL-2 interpretive category scores were associated with age and gender, indicating the need for further research concerning their cultural adjustment. The CAPL-2 can be used as a valid and comprehensive instrument for charting Greek children’s PL progress and making judgements in relation to situationally grounded PE perspectives.

“…Estudos realizados em países em desenvolvimento (Dórea et al, 2008;Nhantumbo et al, 2013)(2 encontraram níveis baixos em alguns indicadores da aptidão física (força, agilidade, salto em distância e agilidade) em adolescentes, quando relacionados com a subnutrição e com elevados valores de massa corporal. (Kamtsios & Digelidis, 2008;Ng, Marshall, & Willows, 2006;Shang, Liu, Hu et al, 2010). Igualmente importante, mas não tão amplamente estudado, é o risco de comprometimento psicológico que se pode apresentar como consequência do excesso de peso em contextos pediátricos (Powel-Young, Zabaleta, VelascoGonzalez, & Sothern, 2013).…”

Foram revisados 6 artigos da DB e 3 da DP. Dentre os principais resultados encontrados nessa revisão podemos destacar a relação existente entre baixo nível de aptidão física e aumento da massa corporal, assim como, o estado nutricional e de aptidão física influenciaram o bem-estar subjetivo. Depois da leitura dos artigos selecionados podemos concluir que se torna necessária à realização de mais estudos, considerando as investigações de característica longitudinal e que investigue a dimensão biológica associada à dimensão psicológica, uma vez que essas possibilitam uma visão ampliada das mudanças a longo prazo que ocorrem no desenvolvimento do adolescente. PALAVRAS CHAVES:Crescimento, estado nutricional, aptidão física, bem estar subjetivo e adolescente. ABSTRACTThis study is aimed at performing a systematic review on the state of growth, physical fitness and adolescent well-being. The search was conducted in six databases (SCIELO, Web of Science, PubMed, B-ON, LILACS and Sport Discus) and in articles published in the last 10 years. The methodological quality of the studies was determined by the PEDro scale. The observational studies had quite diverse samples ranging from 103 to 2330 individuals of both sexes. The articles were divided into the two groups surveyed: Biological-DB size (state of growth, nutrition and physical fitness) and psychological dimension-DP (self-concept, self-esteem and physical self-perception). Six articles of DB and 3 PD were revised. From the main results of this review we can highlight the relationship between low levels of physical fitness and the increase in body mass, as well as the nutritional status and physical fitness influence in the subjective well-being.After reading the selected articles we can conclude that it is necessary to conduct more studies, considering the longitudinal feature of investigations and to investigate the biological dimension associated with the psychological dimension, since these allow a broader view of long-term changes that occur in adolescent development.
