Study Notes

Professor: Juan Pablo Rey Lopez
Institution: Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM)
Credits: 4.5 ECTS
Timing Unit: First Semester 2024/25

Physical Fitness Definitions

Physical Fitness: Capacity to perform daily life activities with vigor (OMS 1968)
Performance-related Fitness: Capacity to develop physical fitness components for sport performance (Pate 1988)
Health-related Fitness: Capacity to perform daily life activities with vigor, associated with a lower risk of chronic disease and premature death (Pate 1988)

Morphological: Body composition, flexibility
Cardiorespiratory: VO2 max, blood pressure
Muscular: Power, maximal strength, muscular endurance
Motor: Agility, balance, coordination, speed
Metabolic: Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity

Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health in Children

Information is given related to cardiovascular health in children and physical fitness
Studies show possible link between fitness levels and cardiovascular health in children

Preschool Children's Motor Development Research

Global hotspots and trends in preschool children's motor development research from 2012 to 2022 are analyzed.
Findings from a bibliometric analysis by Jun-Wei Wang et al. are present.

Co-occurring Keywords (A map)

Keywords, like physical activity, sedentary behavior, fitness, overweight, proficiency, competence and prevalence, were analyzed for their interconnectivity in research from 2012-2022
Visualization of the keywords and their relationships are displayed in a map

Top 20 Keywords

Analysis of the top 20 keywords, with co-citation frequency and centrality.
Keywords such as physical activity, performance, intervention are given as most used, and high ranking keywords.
Strong claims about physical fitness and health in children are questioned.

Physical Activity and Mortality

There is evidence that low handgrip strength is a stronger predictor of mortality in those living in more deprived areas.
Studies suggest an interaction between deprivation and handgrip strength, especially in predicting all-cause and CVD mortality.
Findings are from a large cohort study (UK Biobank). There is a strong association in research.

Assessment Methods for CardioRespiratory Fitness (VO2 Max)

Direct assessment: expensive; using equipment such as ergometers
Indirect assessment: inexpensive, e.g., 20 m shuttle run test

Body Composition Evaluation Methods

Skinfolds (anthropometry)
Bioimpedance analysis
Hydrostatic weighing (bod-pod)
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
Computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) and Cut-Points for Adults

BMI calculation: kg/m²
Normal Weight (BMI): 18.5-25
Overweight (BMI): 25-30
Obesity (BMI): >30

BMI in Children

Do not utilize adult BMI cut-points for assessing children's overweight/obesity
Instead use percentile tables (e.g., CDC in USA)

Waist Circumference

Cardiovascular risk factors: waist circumference (largest)
Women >88 cm, men >102 cm

Limitations of BMI

BMI does not consider body fat distribution
Obesity is associated with visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, liver fat and skeletal muscle fat levels.

Physical Activity and Obesity

Physical activity does not directly impact obesity risk; it is more complex and is a component in the public health message
Food choices/diets and availability are key factors impacting BMI, as demonstrated by different studies on food availability

Effect of Coke Consumption

Drinking 1 liter of coke regularly resulted in significant changes in visceral, liver and muscle fat levels
This was seen in several months of studies conducted in adults.

Obesogenic environments

Obesogenic environments increase BMI independent of physical activity levels throughout life
Physical activity does not counter the effects of residing in environments that encourage weight gain

Maintaining High Physical Activity and Weight Gain

Maintaining high physical activity levels (Men and Women) over twenty years did not protect against weight gain
This information was gathered from longitudinal studies of 20 years.
