“…From the structural equations carried out it can be seen that an increase in the perceived difficulty of physical education goes hand in hand with an increase in reports of its usefulness, coherence in the way it is managed and empathy towards the teacher who imparts it [87]. It can be confirmed that when each one of these variables increases, so to do the other variables, except in the case of coherence in subject management.…”

1) Background: The present research seeks to define and contrast an explanatory model of physical self-concept, emotional isolation, attitude towards physical education, and family functioning, and analyse the existing associations between these variables.(2) Methods: The sample was made up of 2388 adolescents (43.39% male and 56.61% female), with ages of 11-17 years (M = 13.85; SD = 1.26) from Spain. Self-concept (AF-5), Isolation (UCLA), Attitude towards Physical Education (CAEF), and Family Functioning (APGAR) were analyzed. (3) Results: Good fit was obtained for all evaluation indices included in the structural equation model, which was significantly adjusted (χ 2 = 233,023; DF = 14; p < 0.001; comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.913; normalized fit index (NFI) = 0.917; incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.906; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.072). (4) Conclusions: Attitudes towards physical activity were found to be positive when isolation levels were low and where adequate self-concept existed, specifically in students reporting high family functioning. a fundamental stage for its development and for the acquisition of values which facilitate positive interactions with others [12].Physical education (PE) in the educational setting provides a tool for these learnings [8,12]. Amongst the different potential benefits of physical education within these age groups that are related to psychological and mental wellbeing, we find social development and the development of personality. Further, PE promotes fundamental behaviors and skills related to emotional intelligence such as self-concept, altruism, empathy, and understanding the needs of others, amongst others [13].In adolescents, engaging in physical and sporting activity contributes to the promotion of a positive personality and emotional empathy, which improves interpersonal relationships between participants [14,15]. Levels of self-concept and empathy represent protective factors against the development of violent behaviors and victimization in scholars [16], whilst also improving positive relationships with others and mental health [17]. Self-concept is understood as a mental representation of the way in which individuals see themselves [18]. It is composed of diverse social factors-social, emotional, physical, family, and academic [19]. Research studies demonstrate that adolescents, both males and females, who participate regularly in PA report a more positive physical self-concept than those who are not as active [20]. This is the driver of improved social perception, which enables better relationships with others and leads to better academic performance [21].Recent studies have added a new risk factor for mental health and anti-social conduct in adolescents. This is the rise in screen time [22], which together with the reduction in PA [23], drives an increase in feelings of loneliness. High self-efficacy towards the control and reduction of screen time and engagement in PA are factors that relate to a lower probability of social isolation and ...

“…More recently, there have been efforts to identify where a CRF cut-point falls within a normative-referenced distribution. Buchan et al (2019) developed 20-m shuttle-run test cut-points to identify youth living in the United Kingdom at increased cardiometabolic risk. The cut-points they identified were at the 60th percentile for males and the 55th percentile for females when using international normative-referenced centile values (Buchan et al 2019;Tomkinson et al 2017).…”

Using a slightly different approach, a study in Norwegian youth using directly measured V O 2peak testing identified CRF cut-points that fell within the 2nd, 5th, and 10th percentile for male and female children and youth to help identify those with 6, ≥5, and ≥4 cardiometabolic risk factors, respectively (Aadland et al 2019).…”

The objective of this study was to establish cut-points to identify potential clustered cardiometabolic risk among children (aged 9–13 years) and youth (aged 14–17 years) using the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT). Nationally representative cross-sectional data were obtained from cycles 1 and 2 (2007–2011) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the mCAFT, which was used to estimate peak oxygen consumption. Clustered cardiometabolic health was identified as the mean of 4 standardized variables: sum of 4 skinfolds; total cholesterol–to–high-density lipoprotein ratio; and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In total, 2106 (49% female) participants were retained for this analysis. The optimal mCAFT cut-point for males was 49 and 46 mL·kg–1·min–1 among children and youth, respectively. Among females, the mCAFT cut-point was 46 and 37 mL·kg–1·min–1 among children and youth, respectively. In 2016–2017, 83% of females and 71% of males met the new mCAFT cut-points. The mCAFT cut-points can help identify children and youth at potential risk of poor cardiometabolic health in public health surveillance, clinical, and school-based settings. Novelty We developed new mCAFT cut-points to identify potential clustered cardiometabolic risk among Canadian children and youth. These mCAFT cut-points can be used to inform national health surveillance efforts.

“…Falk and Dotan (56) have presented an excellent 2018 review of the topic but, as in 2017, the year 2018 witnessed a plethora of publications based not on rigorous assessment of peakVO 2 but on its estimation from field tests. Numerous publications have focused on either the development of variants of the 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT) to estimate peakVO 2 (eg, 13,29,106) or the establishment of reference values for cardiometabolic risk in childhood based on peakVO 2 expressed in ratio with body mass (eg, 5,26,152). The 20mSRT has been proposed as a suitable and feasible health indicator for international surveillance in children and adolescents (90) and as a means of evaluating physical activity interventions (89).…”

These publications have been deemed as significant or exciting in the field as they (a) reveal a new mechanism, (b) highlight a new measurement tool, (c) discuss a new concept or interpretation/application of an existing concept, or (d) describe a new therapeutic approach or clinical tool in youth. In some cases, findings in adults are highlighted, as they may have important implications in youth. The selected publications span the field of pediatric exercise science, specifically focusing on: aerobic exercise and training; neuromuscular physiology, exercise, and training; endocrinology and exercise; resistance training; physical activity and bone strength; growth, maturation, and exercise; physical activity and cognition; childhood obesity, physical activity, and exercise; pulmonary physiology or diseases, exercise, and training; immunology and exercise; cardiovascular physiology and disease; and physical activity, inactivity, and health.
