Physical Fitness Diagnosis In Schoolchildren Of High Socioeconomic Status: Evaluation For Health Criterion Reference [diagnóstico Da Aptidão FÃsica Em Escolares De Alto NÃvel Socioeconômico: Avaliação Referenciada Por Critérios De Saúde]
Regular practice of systematized physical activities in childhood and adolescence may strongly favor the development or maintenance of suitable levels of physical fitness, decreasing hence the risk of incidence of several chronic-degenerative dysfunctions in early ages. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the body adiposity as well as the motor performance in high socio-economical status children, according to an evaluation for health criterion reference. Therefore, 511 students (274 boys and 237 girls), age between 7-10 years were submitted to anthropometrical measurements of body weight, height and skinfolds thickness (tricipital and subscapular) as well as the following motor tests: sitting and reaching (SR); modified abdominal (ABD) and 9 minute-run/walk (9MIN). The data were analyzed according to the cutting points suggested by the Physical Best (1988). Concerning body adiposity; a higher number of students were verified above (33% of boys and 15% of girls, P 0.05) reached the adopted cutting points. When analyzed together, it was observed that only 15% of the boys and 21% of the girls (P > 0.05) presented satisfactory results in the three motor tests used. The high prevalence of children who were above the health criteria for the body fat amount, associated with the low proportion of subjects who fulfilled the established criteria in the used motor tests group, show that the physical fitness level found in the students investigated is fairly below the expectation. The results suggest the need of developing health educational programs which stimulate more effective participation of young individuals in physical exercise and sports programs of different nature, especially at school environment where a great amount of life habits is established.1327176Morris, J.N., Exercise in the prevention of coronary heart disease: Today's best buy in public health (1994) Med Sci Sports Exerc, 26, pp. 807-814Morton, B.G.S., Taylor, W.C., Snider, S.A., Huang, I.W., Fulton, J.E., Observed levels of elementary and middle school children's physical activity during physical education classes (1994) Prev Med, 3, pp. 437-441Boreham, C., Riddoch, C., The physical activity, fitness and health of children (2001) J Sports Sci, 19, pp. 915-929Tammelin, T., Näyhä, S., Laitinen, J., Rintamäki, H., Järvelin, M.R., Physical activity and social status in adolescence as predictors of physical inactivity in adulthood (2003) Prev Med, 37, pp. 375-381Eisenmann, J.C., Bartee, R.T., Wang, M.Q., Physical activity, TV viewing, and weight in U.S. Youth: 1999 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (2002) Obes Res, 10, pp. 379-385Janz, K.F., Levy, S.M., Burns, T.L., Torner, J.C., Willing, M.C., Warren, J.J., Fatness, physical activity, and television viewing in children during the adiposity rebound period: The Iowa Bone Development Study (2002) Prev Med, 35, pp. 563-571Santiago, L.M., Sá, O., Carvalho, I.M., Rocha, M.G., Palmeiro, L., Mesquita, E.P., Hipercolesterolemia e factores de risco cardiovascular associados, em crianças e adolescentes.

Concordância entre duas classificações para a aptidão cardiorrespiratória em crianças Concordancia entre dos clasificaciones para la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en niños Concordance between two classifications for cardiorespiratory fitness in children
OBJETIVO: Analisar a concordância entre duas diferentes tabelas de pontos de corte para a classificação da aptidão cardiorrespiratória em escolares de sete a 10 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos. MÉTODOS: Estudo de delineamento transversal do qual participaram 184 escolares (106 meninos e 78 meninas) de sete a 10 anos de idade. A aptidão cardiorrespiratória dos escolares foi obtida por meio do teste de campo de corrida ou caminhada de nove minutos. Para a discriminação do desempenho no teste, foram utilizados dois critérios ajustados por sexo e idade: Fitnessgram (1987) e o de Bergmann et al (2010). A concordância entre os pontos de corte foi verificada pelo teste de McNemar e pelo Ãndice Kappa, com significância estatÃstica de p<0,05. RESULTADOS: As análises demonstraram que não houve diferença no percentual de jovens classificados como aptos fisicamente (Fitnessgram com 58,1% e Bergmann et al, 59,2%; p=0,864). De forma similar, a concordância entre os pontos de corte apresentou-se moderada (Kappa=0,61). CONCLUSÕES: Ambos os pontos de corte para aptidão cardiorrespiratória classificaram de maneira semelhante os escolares, independentemente do sexo.<br>OBJETIVO: Analizar la concordancia entre dos distintas tablas de puntos de corte para la clasificación de la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria, en escolares de siete a diez años de edad, de ambos sexos.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study composed of 184 schoolchildren (106 boys and 78 girls) aged from seven to 10 years-old. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by the run and walk test (9 minutes). Two cutoff points were used to indicate the performance in the run and walk test: Fitnessgram (1987) and Bergmann et al (2010). The agreement was verified by the McNemar test and the Kappa index, and p<0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: No differences were noticed between the percentage of fit subjects according to both cutoff criteria (Fitnessgram with 58.1% and Bergmann et al, 59.2%; p=0.864). Similarly, there was moderate concordance between the cutoff points (Kappa=0.61). CONCLUSIONS: Both cutoff points for physical fitness similarly classified the schoolchildren, regardless of gender
Aptidão fÃsica relacionada à saúde em escolares de Jequié, BA, Brasil Health-related physical fitness in students from Jequié, BA, Brazil
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a aptidão fÃsica relacionada à saúde (AFRS) em escolares de Jequié, BA, Brasil. Para tanto, a AFRS de 182 meninos e 160 meninas (sete a 12 anos), escolares da rede pública de ensino, foi avaliada mediante a aplicação dos testes motores corrida/caminhada de nove minutos (indicador de resistência cardiorrespiratória), abdominal modificado em um minuto (indicador de força e resistência abdominal), sentar-e-alcançar (indicador de flexibilidade). O somatório das espessuras das dobras cutâneas tricipital e subescapular foi utilizado como indicador de gordura corporal. Os resultados encontrados indicaram maior prevalência de meninos e meninas abaixo (19% e 49%, respectivamente) do que acima (3% e 1%, respectivamente) dos critérios estabelecidos pela AAHPERD (1988) para indicadores de gordura corporal. Por outro lado, somente 51% dos meninos e 58% das meninas no sentar-e-alcançar; 11% e 7%, respectivamente, no abdominal modificado em um minuto, e 15% e 14%, respectivamente, na corrida/caminhada de nove minutos alcançaram os critérios estabelecidos. Portanto, os resultados sugerem que programas efetivos de intervenção parecem necessários para a promoção de mudanças no estado nutricional e na atividade fÃsica habitual de escolares de Jequié.<br>The aim of this study was to analyze the health-related physical fitness (HRPF) in students from Jequié, BA, Brazil. Therefore, the HRPF of 182 boys and 160 girls aged 7-12 years, students from public schools, was assessed by the application of 9-minute-run/walk (indicator of cardiorespiratory capacity), modified in one minute abdominal (indicator of abdominal strength and endurance), sit-and-reach (indicator of flexibility) motor tests. The sum of the triciptal and subscapular skinfolds thickness was used as indicator of body fat. The results found indicated higher prevalence of boys and girls below (19% and 49%, respectively) than above (3% and 1%, respectively) the criteria established by the AAHPERD (1988) for indicators of body fat. Conversely, only 51% of the boys and 58% of the girls in the sit-and-reach; 11% and 7%, respectively, in the modified in one minute abdominal; and 15% and 14%, respectively, in the 9-minute-run/walk reached the established criteria. Thus, the results suggest that effective intervention programs seem necessary for the promotion of alterations in the nutritional status as well as habitual physical activity of students from Jequié
