“…These findings correlate favourably with that of Paludo et al (2012), Ramos Sepulveda et al (2016), Pelicier et al (2016 and further support the idea of gender aspect in the VO2max prediction equations from the 9-MRT. We found much higher values for distance with respect to those reported by Coleman et al (2004), Bergmann et al (2005), Pelegrini et al (2011) and Bergmann et al (2015). The heterogeneity of the samples has been argued by some authors to strongly influence the distance covered during the 09-MRT (Ramos-Sepulveda et al, 2016).…”

Little information is known concerning the no-self-reported measures of physical activity among African schoolchildren despite alarming prevalence of the cardiometabolic risk factors such as overweight and obesity. This study aims to evaluate some physical and cardiorespiratory profiles among schoolchildren from two government high schools (S1, S2) in Douala, Cameroon. One hundred and seventy-six (176) schoolchildren (114 boys and 62 girls) aged 10-14 years underwent a 9 minutes run test. At the end of the test, distance covered (D), peak and recovery heart rates (Peak HR, HRR) were determined. Prior to testing session, anthropometric data (i.e. height and weight) were taken using a standard protocol and the body max index (BMI) was also calculated. The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was estimated at the end of the test. Most of schoolchildren (97%) have normal weight. But D (m) was higher compared to some of those observed in Caucasians. D for girls was significantly (p<0.0001) lower than that of the boys. No significant (p>0.05) variation was found in BMI, Peak HR and HRR among the schoolchildren. However, significant (p<0.05) variation was detected in D for girls in S2 on a reduced track (278m) as compared to that of D for girls in S1 on a larger track (400m). Negative correlation was found between D and RPE (r = -0.220, p=0.003). These results present some differences on body composition, physical and cardiorespiratory profiles among Cameroonian schoolchildren in accordance with gender and space perception.

Background Community-based exercise rehabilitation programmes for chronic disease are an effective alternative to traditional hospital-based programmes. MedEx Wellness is a novel community-based exercise rehabilitation programme that integrates a range of chronic diseases. The aim of this trial was to investigate the effect of participating in MedEx Wellness on physical, clinical and psychological health. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted. Participants were recruited at induction to the MedEx Wellness programme following referral from healthcare professionals. Participants underwent a baseline assessment before commencing the exercise programme and repeat assessments at 3, 6 and 12 months. The primary outcome was cardiorespiratory fitness (6 minute- time trial) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (EuroQoL-5D, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire8, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Questionnaire), free living activity behavior (accelerometer) and healthcare utilization (recall questionnaire). Tertiary outcomes included blood pressure (24 h), biomarkers (lipids, glucose and C-reactive protein), other components of physical fitness, including strength (handgrip test, sit-to-stand test), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), body composition (body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio), and falls risk (timed up and go test), and claudication time (incremental treadmill walking test), cognitive function, including attention (Attention Network Task), memory (Luck & Vogel Visual Working Memory Task) and cognitive reserve. Exploratory outcomes included psychosocial determinants of physical activity (self-efficacy, social support, intentions). Discussion This trial will evaluate whether participation in the MedEx Wellness programme has positive effects on physical, clinical and psychological health in individuals with a range of chronic diseases. Trial registration ISRCTN Registry ISRCTN10351412.

“…To assess CRF, the 6-min run/walk test was used, performed on the athletic track, using the distance covered in meters [ 23 ]. Then, the peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) formula was applied = 41.946 + 0.022(6 min) − 0.875 (body mass index) + 2.107 (gender, considering 1 for boys and 0 for girls) to transform the distance into meters for VO 2peak [ 24 ].…”

Objective To verify the association between sleep duration and television time with cardiometabolic risk and the moderating role of age, gender, and skin color/ethnicity in this relationship among adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional study with 1411 adolescents (800 girls) aged 10 to 17 years. Television time, sleep duration, age, gender, and skin color/ethnicity were obtained by self-reported questionnaire. Cardiometabolic risk was evaluated using the continuous metabolic risk score, by the sum of the standard z -score values for each risk factor: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glycemia, cardiorespiratory fitness, systolic blood pressure, and waist circumference. Generalized linear regression models were used. Results There was an association between television time and cardiometabolic risk ( β , 0.002; 95% CI, 0.001; 0.003). Short sleep duration ( β , 0.422; 95% CI, 0.012; 0.833) was positively associated with cardiometabolic risk. Additionally, age moderated the relationship between television time and cardiometabolic risk ( β , − 0.009; 95% CI, − 0.002; − 0.001), suggesting that this relationship was stronger at ages 11 and 13 years ( β , 0.004; 95% CI, 0.001; 0.006) compared to 13 to 15 years ( β , 0.002; 95% CI, 0.001; 0.004). No association was found in older adolescents ( β , 0.001; 95% CI, − 0.002; 0.002). Conclusions Television time and sleep duration are associated with cardiometabolic risk; adolescents with short sleep have higher cardiometabolic risk. In addition, age plays a moderating role in the relationship between TV time and cardiometabolic risk, indicating that in younger adolescents the relationship is stronger compared to older ones.
