Obesity Epidemic

Lack of physical activity negatively impacts weight management programs effectiveness, even with the strictest dietary recommendations. In the context of the obesity epidemic, associated with the cardiovascular risk development, assessment of exercise tolerance in adolescents with different body composition assumes special significance. The examination of 64 normal weight, underweight, overweight and obese adolescents has been performed with anthropometric investigation, study of physical activity level by NHANES and exercise tolerance by multistage treadmill protocol. We established that normal weight children tolerate exercise better than underweight and overweight despite of the same physical activity level. Exercising for persons involved in of body mass correction programs must be adjusted to the potential cardiovascular complications, last longer with the less load in the boost and must be conducted under the relevant specialist control.KeyWords:  adolescents, body mass index, physical activity, exercise toleranceТОЛЕРАНТНІСТЬ ДО ФІЗИЧНОГО НАВАНТАЖЕННЯ ПІДЛІТКІВ З НОРМАЛЬНОЮ, НАДМІРНОЮ І НЕДОСТАТНЬОЮ МАСОЮ ТІЛА ТА ОЖИРІННЯМ.Чайченко Т., Рибка О., Бужинська Н.Малорухливий спосіб життя негативно впливає на ефективність корекції ваги навіть при самому строгому дотриманні дієтичних рекомендацій.

Проведено антропометричне обстеження, вивчені рівні фізичної активності за NHANES і толерантність до фізичного навантаження за допомогою багатоступінчастого тредміл протоколу. Встановлено, що діти з нормальною масою переносять фізичне навантаження краще, ніж ті, що мають знижену і надлишкову масу незважаючи на подібний рівень фізичної активності. Фізичне навантаження для осіб, які беруть участь в програмах корекції маси тіла, повинна враховувати потенційні серцево-судинні ускладнення, тривати довше з меншим навантаженням (швидкість і кут нахилу доріжки) і проводитися під контролем відповідного фахівця.Ключові слова: підлітки, індекс маси тіла, фізична активність, толерантність до фізичного навантаження ТОЛЕРАНТНОСТЬ К ФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ НАГРУЗКЕ ПОДРОСТКОВ С НОРМАЛЬНОЙ, ИЗБЫТОЧНОЙ И НЕДОСТАТОЧНОЙ МАССОЙ ТЕЛА И ОЖИРЕНИЕМ.Чайченко Т., Рыбка Е., Бужинская Н.Малоподвижный образ жизни негативно влияет на эффективность коррекции веса даже при самом строгом соблюдении диетических рекомендаций.

The Relationship

Introduction. Excessive body mass in turn may contribute to the development of many health disorders including disorders of musculoskeletal system, which still develops intensively at that time.Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between children’s body mass composition and body posture. The relationship between physical activity level of children and the parameters characterizing their posture was also evaluated.Material and Methods. 120 school age children between 11 and 13 years were enrolled in the study, including 61 girls and 59 boys. Each study participant had the posture evaluated with the photogrammetric method using the projection moiré phenomenon. Moreover, body mass composition and the level of physical activity were evaluated.Results. Children with the lowest content of muscle tissue showed the highest difference in the height of the inferior angles of the scapulas in the coronal plane. Children with excessive body fat had less slope of the thoracic-lumbar spine, greater difference in the depth of the inferior angles of the scapula, and greater angle of the shoulder line. The individuals with higher level of physical activity have a smaller angle of body inclination.Conclusion. The content of muscle tissue, adipose tissue, and physical activity level determines the variability of the parameter characterizing the body posture.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association of nutritional status, biological maturation, social support and self-efficacy with the physical activity level of 2,347 students of both sexes, aged between 11 and 15 years old, enrolled in state schools in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Methods: Anthropometric measurements of body mass, height and sitting height were collected. The assessment of biological maturation was based on the analysis of the age at peak height and sexual maturity. The physical activity level, social support from parents and friends and self-efficacy were evaluated by self-reported questionnaires. Sex/age-specific body mass index (BMI) cutoff points identified the nutritional status. Gross and adjusted binary logistic regression were used to obtain odds (OR) ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), adopting p≤0.05 as significant. Results: More than half (52.3%; n=1,227) of students were active, with boys in a higher proportion (64.1%; p≤0.01). The correlates of physical activity were: nutritional status (OR 1.25; 95%CI 1.01-1.56), early somatic maturation (OR 0.71; 95%CI 0.54-0.93), moderate (OR 1.85; 95%CI 1.50-2.30) and high social support from parents (OR 2.70; 95%CI 2.11-3.42) and high social support from friends (OR 1.78; 95%CI 1.42-2.24). Conclusions: Nutritional status, early somatic maturation, social support of parents and friends were correlates of physical activity. Overweight girls with moderate and high parental support and boys with greater social support from parents and friends were more active. Girls with early somatic maturation were less active.

The Relationship

Aim: The present study was conducted to study the relationship between the nutrient intake and physical activity level of 120 (16-25 years) elite athletes. Methods: Athletes were selected from 5 universities of Punjab, participating in 4 sports viz. hockey, athletics, badminton and lawn tennis and their nutritional status and sports performance was assessed. Results: The findings suggested that athletes had a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) and the energy, protein and iron intake of all the athletes was lower than dietary recommendations (61, 61.3 and 35% respectively). However, percent adequacy of calcium (91%), vitamin A (94.7%) and vitamin C (183%) was adequately high among overall athletes. Majority of athletes (51.7%) had vigorously active lifestyle; 44.2% had moderately active lifestyle. Conclusion: Intake of nutrients was positively correlated with physical activity.

Introduction: Obesity has been recognized as a major public health concern due to lack of physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out to determine the status of body mass index (BMI) and habitual physical activity level among staffs working in Military Hospital, Malacca using Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (HPAQ). Results: About 120 HPAQ were distributed and only 82 responded with 23(28%) of them males and 59 (72%) females, aged between 21 to 59 (40.52 ± 9.38) years old. Anthropometry analysis showed the mean weight of male respondents was 79.48 (± 16.33) and 70.95 (± 15.66) for the females. Body mass index (BMI) for males (33.61 ± 2.82) was almost similar to females ( 33.20± 2.95).The mean waist circumference of men was 93.26 (± 10.94)cm compared to 94.03 (± 11.98)cm in the females. Following categorization of BMI, 59% (n=48) are in the obese group, 24% (n=20) are overweight and only 17% (n=14) have an ideal body weight or normal BMI. Relationship between BMI and HPAQ demonstrated strong and significant correlation coefficient for habitual physical activity at work (r = 0.775, p < 0.001), sports (r = 0.735, p < 0.05) and leisure ( r = 0.713, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The staffs working in the Hospital demonstrated poor habitual physical activity which explains for the high incidence of obesity among the staffs. This requires measures to be taken to promote a healthier lifestyle among them.

Introduction: While evidence suggests that the levels of motor coordination and body mass index (BMI) are positively correlated, little is known about the influence of levels of physical activity on associations between these variables among adolescents. Objective: To analyse the relationships between levels of motor coordination and BMI in normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents, controlling for physical activity levels. Methods: Fifty-six students (50% overweight/obese adolescents), aged 12–14 years old, participated in this study. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children and the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder were used in order to assess the levels of physical activity and motor coordination, respectively. Bivariate and partial correlations were used to analyse the interrelationships among motor coordination, BMI and physical activity. The analysis of covariance test was used in order to compare the levels of motor coordination between normal weight and overweight adolescents, considering the physical activity level as a covariate. Results: Weak to moderate negative correlations (p < 0.05) were found between motor coordination and BMI in the sample as a whole, normal weight and overweight/obese groups. However, when controlled for physical activity levels. no significant correlation was observed in the normal weight group. Further, overweight/obese adolescents showed lower levels of motor coordination than their normal weight peers Conclusion: Physical activity levels infl uence the association between levels of motor coordination and BMI in normal weight adolescents, but not in their overweight/obese peers.
