This study aimed to compare the physical profile and motor profile of children from 6 to 10 years old, according to their level of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Participated 2036 children from 6 to 10 years old from São José dos Pinhais - PR. Assessed variables were stature, corporal mass, Body mass index (BMI), physical fitness (PF), and gross motor coordination (GMC). The CRF was assessed by the total distance during the 6 minutes walking test. A battery of tests KTK evaluated the GCM. The children were classified according to their levels of CRF (low-moderate-elevated). Differences between groups were tested using ANOVA one way. Data analysis was made in the SPSS software, with a meaningfulness of 5%. Children with low levels of CRF showed higher values of adiposity. On the PF tests, children with low levels of CRF showed higher values of prehension and worse performance in the other tests. Regarding GMC, children with low levels of CRF had lower coordinative performance. Meaningful differences were found in the comparisons between different groups (low-moderate, low-elevated) with an advantage in the results in moderate levels of CRF. Obtaining average levels of CRF can bring protective benefits in other variables in children's growth process and development during infancy. Evaluating the CRF doesn't only get a momentary evaluation. Still, it can also do the monitoring of an essential variable of health, as well as indicate a predisposition about other physical-motor variables.

“…The immediate benefits of PA during adolescence have been consistently reported in the literature in both girls and boys, and several aspects of mental health during adolescence ameliorate consistently with PA (Brand et al, 2017; Lang et al, 2016; McDowell et al, 2017). These improvements are in accordance with the commonly reported acquisition of healthy habits through PA, although boys were more active than girls in all types of PA (Howie et al, 2016; Souza et al, 2017). Our results show that women who did not participate in OS during adolescence and who are currently inactive reported significantly lower psychosocial health and higher cardiometabolic risk scores, findings that have also been reported in previous studies (Fernandes & Zanesco, 2010; Jewett et al, 2014).…”

“…Adolescence is an important time frame in terms of acquisition and development of lifestyle behaviours, which are linked to adulthood health (Souza et al, 2017). Among these behaviours, researchers highlight the importance of participating in organised sport (OS) (Howie, McVeigh, Smith, & Straker, 2016), defined as physical activity (PA) that is directed by adult or youth leaders and involves rules and formal practice and competition (Logan & Cuff, 2019).…”

“…Adolescents are at high risk of developing mental health disorders (McPhie & Rawana, 2015), poorer subjective sleep (Brand et al, 2017), worse quality of life (QoL) (Brand et al, 2017), eating disorders (Bar, Cassin, & Dionne, 2016), and higher levels of anxiety and depression symptoms (McDowell, MacDonncha, & Herring, 2017). The importance of maintaining PA during adulthood is crucial as it favours better mental health and other healthy behaviours (Jewett et al, 2014; Souza et al, 2017). Evidence suggests that, although some components of sport activities may protect against mental health disorders, others appear to increase the risk (Logan & Cuff, 2019).…”

This study aimed to assess the differences in psychosocial health and cardiometabolic risk during adulthood in women based on previously organised sport (OS) participation during adolescence and current activity levels, with emphasis on participation in aesthetic sports. The study included 1947 women aged 18-55 years who were categorised into four groups: 355 aesthetic athletes during adolescence, 494 non-aesthetic athletes during adolescence, 791 non-athletes during adolescence with similar current levels of physical activity (PA) to OS groups and 307 currently inactive non-athletes during adolescence. Participants answered questionnaires regarding sport participation, psychosocial health and cardiometabolic risk. The results show that non-athletes during adolescence who are currently inactive reported significantly lower psychosocial health and higher cardiometabolic risk scores. Women with currently homogenous PA levels (χ² = 0.514) reported similar physical quality of life (QoL), exercise addiction, anxiety and depression symptoms regardless of participation in OS during adolescence (P > .05), except aesthetic athletes who reported the worst sleep and mental QoL. Very high training volumes in aesthetic athletes did not influence psychological outcomes and cardiometabolic risk in adulthood compared to lower training volumes. In conclusion, the effects of PA during adulthood appear to be powerful enough to induce beneficial adaptations in health outcomes that match those observed in women who participate in OS during adolescence, except for aesthetic sports participants, who show a high risk of lower quality of sleep in adulthood. PA should be promoted in adults and especially women who have not participated in OS during adolescence.

-Aim:The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and country of origin (Mozambique versus Portugal) on physical activity and sedentariness. Methods: Sample size was comprised of 593 adolescents from Mozambique (n=258) and Portugal (n=335), aged 10-15 years old. Height and weight were measured, and BMI was computed; furthermore, subjects were classified in two groups (normal weight and overweight/obese). The mean time (min/day) spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary activity were assessed using the GT3X Actigraph accelerometer over at least 4 days (1 weekend day) with a minimum of 10 hours/day of monitoring. Multiple regression analysis was done in
