Influence of Insulin Application Time and High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Hypoglycemic Risk in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes.

PURPOSE: The study analyzed the influence of exercise on hypoglycemia episodes postexercise and in the subsequent 24 hours in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS: Thirty young people performed the same protocol of physical exercises for 1 hour (Ex1h) and 2 hours (Ex2h) after the administration of insulin. They performed 30 minutes of exercise on a cycle ergometer with a load of 60% of maximal oxygen uptake, interspersed with maximum intensity sprints lasting 10 seconds every 5 minutes. RESULTS: Regarding the occurrence of hypoglycemia, in the 8 hours following the exercises, there was no occurrence in Ex1h (χ2 = 0.001; P = .0001) and a greater proportion for Ex2h (n = 71 episodes, 53.8%), while Ex1h had a higher number of nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes (n = 60, 71.4%) compared with Ex2h (n = 31, 23.1%, χ2 = 49.521, P = .0001), Ex1h triggered a lower number of hypoglycemia (n = 84) than Ex2h (n = 134, χ2 = 11.504, P = .001). There was a greater reduction in the average amount of fast-acting insulin administered the day after Ex1h compared with Ex2h (P = .031). CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent exercise performed 1 hour after insulin administration shows a lower risk of hypoglycemia within 8 hours after exercise, as well as a reduction in insulin the following day.

Physical Activity Levels of Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Physical Activity in T1D.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in teenagers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) in comparison with healthy scholar participants. Total of 154 teenagers (T1D = 45 and CON = 109). Height, weight, cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), and the level of physical activity by the Bouchard's Physical Activity Record were measured, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in T1D. The VO2max was lower in the T1D (38.38 ± 7.54) in comparison with the CON (42.44 ± 4.65; p < .05). The VO2max had correlation with the amount of time of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (r = .63; p = .0001) and an inverse correlation with sedentary activities (r= -0.46; p = .006). In the T1D the levels of HbA1c had an inverse correlation with the amount of time of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (r= -0.34; p = .041) and correlation with the BMI z-score (r = .43; p = .017). Only 37,8% of the participants in the T1D reached the adequate amount of daily moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity, in the CON 81,7% reached the WHO's recommendation. CONCLUSION: T1D had less cardiorespiratory capacity then healthy controls, the teenagers of T1D with lower BMI z-score and that dedicated a greater time in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity demonstrated a better glycemic control.

Acute changes in glucose induced by continuous or intermittent exercise in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: To estimate the rate of change during exercise and during recovery in moderate-continuous exercise (MCE) and high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: Participants performed 2 sessions of exercise: thirty minutes of continuous activity on a cycle ergometer (60% of VO2max) and thirty minutes (60% VO2max) interspersed with five bouts of maximum intensity lasting ten seconds every five minutes. Capillary blood glucose was measured before and after each test. The glucose rate of change in exercise (RoCE) was calculated (final blood glucose - onset blood glucose/exercise time), and the glucose rate of change in recovery (RoCR) (blood glucose 30 minutes after exercise - end of exercise blood glucose/recovery time). Results: The study included thirty-one participants (aged 13 ± 1.88 years). A lower blood glucose reduction was observed in the HIIE group, as well as better recovery values before, after, and thirty minutes after the test, respectively (333.14 ± 69.53, 226.19 ± 68.05 and 201.77 ± 66.84 versus 211.36 ± 91.03, 155.98 ± 82,68 and 165.76 ± 72.94). Covariance analyses showed a significant difference in glycemic variation between continuous and intermittent protocols immediately after exercise (-2.90 versus -2.08) and during the recovery period (-0.677 versus -0.389). Conclusion: HIIE led to a lower glucose reduction rate per minute during exercise and better recovery in the first 30 minutes after exercise compared to MCE in children and adolescents with T1D.

Effects of resistance training on the glycemic control of people with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Resistance training has shown the potential to contribute to better glycemic control in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), however, there are contradictory results in this regard and a need to clarify the effects of isolated resistance training on glycemic control in T1D. The aim was to verify the effects of resistance training on the glycemic control of people with T1D. Original articles were selected, randomized and non-randomized clinical trials that aimed to verify chronic responses, through the concentrations of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), to a structured program of resistance exercise in the glycemia of patients with T1D. The following databases were searched; MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, LILACS, and SciELO. Five studies were included in the review. A reduction in HbA1c was observed (SMD = -0.568 ± 0.165 [95% CI = -0.891 to -0.246]; p = 0.001; I2 = 82%) in patients undergoing resistance training, when compared to the control group (SMD = 1.006 ± 0.181 [95% CI = 0.653 to 1.360]; p <0.001). Two studies, with children and adolescents and longer interventions, demonstrated a significant reduction in HbA1c, increased strength, and an improved lipid profile. Resistance training was efficient for assisting in glycemic control in people with T1D and should be incorporated in treatment plans.

Bone mass and dietary intake in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its association with the nutritional intake, metabolic control, and physical activity level of this population. METHODS: Study including 34 patients with T1DM and 17 controls. Assessments included the participants disease history, intake of macronutrient, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, physical activity level, total body and lumbar spine BMD and serum levels of glycated hemoglobin, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide. RESULTS: Total body and lumbar spine BMD z-scores were normal in all but two participants in the T1DM group. The T1DM group had significantly lower total body BMD z-score values (p < 0.001) and levels of osteocalcin, C-terminal telopeptide, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Intake of macronutrients and calcium was inadequate in both groups. Participants in the T1DM group were more sedentary (88%) and had inadequate metabolic control (91%) and low vitamin D levels (82%). Bone mass in the T1DM group was influenced by body mass index (BMI), pubertal stage, disease duration, calcium intake, and physical activity level. CONCLUSIONS: Bone mass in patients with T1DM was adequate but lower than controls and was influenced by BMI, pubertal stage, disease duration, calcium consumption, and physical activity level.

Different amounts of moderate to vigorous physical activity and change in glycemic variability in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: is there dose-response relationship?

OBJECTIVE: To identify the level of physical activity and glycemic variability of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus and to compare glycemic variability on days with different amounts of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A sample of 34 subjects aged 10 to 15 years, 18 (52.94%) female; age: 13.04 ± 1.94; HbA1c: 9.76 ± 1.51. Physical activity was measured by wGT3X accelerometer. The glucose data were obtained using continuous glucose monitoring, and the following glycemic variability measures were calculated: standard deviation (SD), low blood glucose index (LBGI), high blood glucose index (HBGI), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), glycemic risk assessment in diabetes equation (GRADE) and coefficient of variation (CV). The most and least active days (the days with greater and lesser time dedicated to physical activities of moderate to vigorous intensity, respectively) were identified. In addition, based on the whole period of accelerometer use, daily means of time spent in MVPA were identified among participants, who were then divided into three groups: up to 100 minutes; from 101 to 200 minutes and above 201 minutes. Then, the measures of glycemic variability were compared among the most and least active days and among the groups too. RESULTS: The amount of MVPA was significantly different between the days evaluated (237.49 ± 93.29 vs. 125.21 ± 58.10 minutes), but glycemic variability measures did not present a significant difference. CONCLUSION: Despite the significant differences in the amount of MVPA between the two days evaluated, the glycemic variability did not change significantly. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2020;64(3):312-8.

[Association between physical activity levels and adolescents' self-perception of self-esteem]. / Associação entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima de adolescentes.

Physical activity levels and the self-perception of self-esteem are kindred factors of the health status of the population. Therefore, the scope of this research was to analyze the association between physical activity levels and adolescents' self-perception of self-esteem. The sample consisted of 98 individuals with an average age of 16.7 ± 1.2. Two tools were used: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - short version, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Binary logistic regression (Odds Ratio) with α of 5% was then applied. The theoretical evidence revolved around the contemporary approach to the definition of health; and the results were discussed in the light of the behavioral theory of the adolescent. There was a predominance of active adolescents (41.8%), as well as a smaller proportion of sedentary adolescents (4.1%). A total of 55.1% had high self-esteem, while 44.9% were found to have low self-esteem. The conclusion drawn is that there was no association (Wald F = 2.756; p = 0.600) between the level of physical activity and the self-perception of self-esteem. Lastly, the behavioral aspects of the adolescent that point to future potential areas of investigation related to the theme of this group were discussed.

Utilizou-se dois instrumentos: Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física ­ versão curta e Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. A regressão logística binária (Odds Ratio) com α de 5% foi utilizada. As evidências teóricas giraram em torno da abordagem contemporânea do conceito de saúde e os resultados foram discutidos à luz da teoria comportamental do adolescente. Houve predominância de adolescentes ativos (41,8%), bem como menor proporção de sedentários (4,1%). Apresentaram autoestima elevada 55,1%, enquanto 44,9% revelaram a ter baixa. Conclui-se que não houve associação (Wald F = 2,756; p = 0,600) entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima. Por fim, discutiu-se elementos comportamentais do adolescente que apontam lócus às futuras intervenções relativas ao tema com este público.

CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS ASSOCIATED TO TEENAGERS' FAT: VO2MAX CUTOFF POINT.

OBJECTIVE: To associate the Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) with body fat percentage (%BF), and to establish the best VO2max cutoff point for predicting risk %BF in teenagers. METHODS: This study was carried out with 979 subjects aged 10 to 18.8 years, 556 (56.8%) girls. The 20 m shuttle run protocol determined the VO2max, which was analyzed in quintiles and in a numeric scale. Cutaneous fold equations determined the %BF, later classified as risk to health/obesity when >25 in girls and >20 in boys. Regression method was used - Odds Ratio (OR) and Receiver Operating Characteristics Curve (ROC curve) with α <5%. RESULTS: From the total number of valid cases, 341 (65.6%) girls and 202 (53.2%) boys presented %BF of risk, and a larger proportion of %BF of risk was observed in the 1st quintile of the VO2max for both genders. There was inverse association between VO2max and %BF of risk from the 4th quintile (OR 1.84, 95%CI 1.05-3.24) until the 1st quintile (OR 4.74, 95%CI 2.44-9.19) for girls, and from the 2nd quintile (OR 2.99, 95%CI 1.48-6.00) until the 1st quintile (OR 5.60, 95%CI 2.64-11.87) for boys. As analytic highlights, VO2max Cutoff points for prediction of %BF of risk were ≤40.9 mL/kg-1/min-1 (AUC: 0.65; p<0.001) for girls and ≤44.8 mL/kg-1/min-1 (AUC: 0.66; p<0.001)for boys. CONCLUSIONS: VO2max was inversely associated to the %BF, and VO2max cutoff points for prediction of %BF of risk are important results to generate action to fight early obesity.

Health-related quality of life in a cohort of youths with type 1 diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been widely studied. The objectives of this study were to evaluate and identify the factors influencing the HRQOL of children and adolescents with T1DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In total, 59 patients (9-16 years, T1DM for ≥1 year) responded to a version of the Diabetes Quality of Life Instrument for Youth (DQOLY) adapted to adapted to Brazilian patients, the Instrumento de Qualidade de Vida para Jovens com Diabetes (IQVJD). This instrument comprises 50 items (domains satisfaction, impact, and concerns, with the lowest scores corresponding to better HRQOL) and a questionnaire gathering social, demographic, and clinical parameters. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 13.6 years, and 57.6% were girls. The median age at diagnosis was 7.16 years, 63% presented diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis and 29% during follow-up. Mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the previous year was 10%. All patients administered multiple insulin doses (mean 4.2 applications/day), 74.5% used rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin analogs, and 67.8% used pens for insulin application. The results of the DQOLY were within the cutoff limit for better HRQOL. An isolated analysis of each domain and the questionnaire results showed that the following factors were associated with better HRQOL: height Z-score, lower HbA1c, practice of physical activity, use of pen, fewer hospitalizations, and residence in a rural area. There was a high DKA rate at diagnosis, and the metabolic control was inappropriate in most patients. Despite coming from low-income households, most patients had access to the recommended treatment. CONCLUSION: Among T1DM patients, 71% had IQVJD scores compatible with better HRQOL.

Acute changes in glucose induced by continuous or intermittent exercise in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the rate of change during exercise and during recovery in moderate-continuous exercise (MCE) and high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Subjects and methods: Participants performed 2 sessions of exercise: thirty minutes of continuous activity on a cycle ergometer (60% of VO2max) and thirty minutes (60% VO2max) interspersed with five bouts of maximum intensity lasting ten seconds every five minutes. Capillary blood glucose was measured before and after each test. The glucose rate of change in exercise (RoCE) was calculated (final blood glucose - onset blood glucose/exercise time), and the glucose rate of change in recovery (RoCR) (blood glucose 30 minutes after exercise - end of exercise blood glucose/recovery time). Results: The study included thirty-one participants (aged 13 ± 1.88 years). A lower blood glucose reduction was observed in the HIIE group, as well as better recovery values before, after, and thirty minutes after the test, respectively (333.14 ± 69.53, 226.19 ± 68.05 and 201.77 ± 66.84 versus 211.36 ± 91.03, 155.98 ± 82,68 and 165.76 ± 72.94). Covariance analyses showed a significant difference in glycemic variation between continuous and intermittent protocols immediately after exercise (−2.90 versus −2.08) and during the recovery period (−0.677 versus −0.389). Conclusions: HIIE led to a lower glucose reduction rate per minute during exercise and better recovery in the first 30 minutes after exercise compared to MCE in children and adolescents with T1D.

Comparative Study of the Efficacy of L-Tryptophan Nanoparticles on Motor and Cognitive Behavior in an Alzheimer's Experimental Model

Abstract Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, with cognitive as well as behavioral manifestations. Also related to this pathology, is the decreased production and activation of some neurotransmitters, such as Serotonin, which is derived from the Tryptophan. Different methods to improve the effect and performance of some drugs have been studied including the Nanoparticles. The objective was to analyze the efficacy of L-tryptophan and L-tryptophan Nanoparticles in the acute response of motor and cognitive behavior in an Alzheimer's experimental model. Methods: 15 Wistar rats, divided into 3 groups (n = 5): GC (Alzheimer's control group), GLt (L-tryptophan), and GN (Nanoparticles). They were treated for six consecutive days. Anxiety tests, spatial memory tests, aversive memory tests, and motor behavior tests were all performed during this study. In the analysis of anxiety, improvement was observed in both treatments, being that GN presented improvement in two variables: freezing (79±18.8; 74.6±14.2) and TBF (287.8±1.08; 268±40.8). GLt only presented improvement in freezing (103.8±44.4). In the spatial memory analysis, there were no significant differences in aversive memory and motor behavior during the treatments. During the Size Effect analysis treatments, it is possible to observe some differences both in anxiety and motor behavior, precisely where NG presented better results than GLt. Even in a short period of time, the nanoparticles demonstrated great benefits as a treatment method. Conclusion: the use of nanoparticles is an effective treatment against changes in motor and cognitive behavior caused by Alzheimer´s, as it lowers anxiety and improves motor behavior.

The effects of strength training on cognitive performance in elderly women.

Aging is a degenerative process marked by recognized functional, physiological, and metabolic impairments, such as dynapenia and diminished cognitive capacity. Therefore, the search for innovative strategies to prevent/delay these physiological and cognitive disorders is essential to guarantee the independence and life quality of an elderly population. The aim of this work is to verify the effect of a 12-week resistance exercise program on the general physical aptitude and cognitive capacities of elderly and sedentary women. Twenty-nine women (65.87±5.69 years) were divided into two groups. The control group was composed of eight elderly women who met the same inclusion criteria of the study and the strength training group was composed of 29 elderly women who were subjected to a resistance exercise program defined by 12 upper and lower limb exercises combined in 3×10 repetitions with 1-minute interval between repetitions and two resting minutes between exercises (three times/week). Weight loads were fixed between 60% and 75% of the apparent 1 repetition maximum, which was estimated by the test of 10 maximum repetitions. The direct curl was performed for upper body strength evaluation with 2.3 kg dumbbells for 30 seconds, whereas the chair test was used for lower body evaluation (total sit-stand movements in 30 seconds). The cognitive capacities of subjects were evaluated by "The Montreal Cognitive Assessment" questionnaire. After 12 weeks, the elderly group showed significant increases in the average upper body strength (58%), lower body strength (68%), and cognitive capacity (19%). The present study demonstrated that regular resistance exercises could provide significant gains on the upper and lower body strength concomitant to positive improvements on cognitive capacities of elderly women, bringing enhanced life quality.

Variability of lipid and lipoprotein concentrations during puberty in Brazilian boys.

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of lipid profile in children and adolescents is important for early diagnosis of dyslipidemias. Physiological changes might be observed in the concentration of the lipid profile components, according to the stage of sexual maturation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the variation in lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in boys during puberty. METHODS: The sample consisted of 570 male adolescents with ages between 10 and 17 years. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were assessed. Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) were determined by the enzymatic method, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated. Puberty was classified according to Tanner references. The percentile criterion was adopted for the distribution and identification of lipoprotein levels. The analysis of variance and description tests with p<0.05 was applied. RESULTS: Participants had similar BMI z-score and physical activity habits in all groups. A significant reduction in TC and HDL-C concentrations between the start and end of puberty was observed. LDL-C levels rose during stage 3 of development, decreasing at the end of the pubertal process. TG levels did not change significantly with pubertal status. CONCLUSION: Lipid and lipoprotein concentrations tend to undergo changes during puberty in boys. The use of percentile values can be very useful to track variations in lipid and lipoprotein levels during the maturation process.

Comparação da qualidade de vida e sono de adolescentes portadores e não portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 1 / Comparison of quality of life and sleep of adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes mellitus

RESUMO A Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 1 (DM1) é uma doença autoimune que afeta milhares de pessoas atualmente, com maior concentração de casos na adolescência. O tratamento implica alterações no estilo de vida que podem apresentar influência negativa sobre a qualidade do sono (QS) e qualidade de vida (QV). O propósito do estudo foi comparar a QS e QV entre adolescentes portadores e não portadores de DM1. Participaram do estudo 74 adolescentes divididos por grupos e sexo: GDM1-F (n=19), GDM1-M (n=18), GC-F (n=21) e GC-M (n=16). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh e WHOQOL-bref. Para comparar os grupos foi utilizado Análise de Covariância, ajustada pela idade, com Post Hoc de Bonferroni. Os resultados sinalizam que os participantes do GDM1-F e GDM1-M, portadores de DM1, apresentaram maiores escores em todas as avaliações, com diferença significativa com o CG-F nas variáveis: QS global, Domínios Físico, Psicológico e Relações Sociais e QV total. Portanto, foi possível observar que os adolescentes portadores de DM1 apresentaram melhor avaliação da QS e QV em comparação as meninas sem DM1, independentemente da idade.

ABSTRACT Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) is an autoimmune disease that affects thousands of people today, with a higher concentration of cases in adolescence. Treatment involves lifestyle changes that can have a negative influence on quality of sleep (QS) and quality of life (QL). The purpose of the study was to compare QS and QL among adolescents with and without DM1. Seventy-four adolescents participated in the study divided by groups and sex: GDM1-F (n=19), GDM1-M (n=18), GC-F (n=21) and GC-M (n=16). The instruments used were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and WHOQOL-bref. Age-adjusted Covariance Analysis with Bonferroni Post Hoc was used to compare the groups. The results show that the participants of GDM1-F and GDM1-M, with DM1, had higher scores in all evaluations, with significant difference with CG-F in the variables: global QS, Physical, Psychological and Social Relationships and total QL. Therefore, it was possible to observe that adolescents with DM1 had better QS and QL evaluations than girls without DM1, regardless of age.

Pearson's correlation was used to associate the variables and a confidence level of p <0.05 was stipulated. Results։ The girls presented significant values in relation to the boys in the body mass index, social relations, global motor skills, spatial organization, general motor age and general motor quotient variables. In the other variables, no significant values were observed. A weak association was found between quality of life and quality of sleep, quality of life and chronological age, and chronological age and general motor age. However, a strong association was observed between general motor age and general motor quotient. Conclusion։ It was possible to observe that quality of life has a positive influence on chronological age. However, in the general motor age and the general motor quotient variables, it demonstrated no interference, the same happened in the association between sleep quality and other variables.

O tempo sentado está associado aos fatores de risco cardiometabólicos em adolescentes? / Is sitting time associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents?

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a associação entre o tempo sentado e fatores de risco cardiometabólicos em adolescentes. A amostra foi composta por 454 adolescentes (50,6% masculino) com idades entre 12 a 18 anos. O tempo diário despendido sentado e a prática de atividade física moderada-vigorosa foram avaliados por meio do recordatório de três dias de Bouchard. Os fatores de risco cardiometabólicos analisados foram: circunferência de cintura; glicose; HDL-C; triglicerídeos; e pressão arterial. Foi utilizada a análise de variância com dois fatores (sexo e quartis) para comparar os fatores de risco cardiometabólicos entre os quartis de tempo sentado. Para verificar a associação entre o tempo sentado e os fatores de risco cardiometabólicos foi empregado a regressão linear múltipla. Foi observado que os meninos pertencentes ao 4º quartil (maior tempo sentado) apresentaram valores mais elevados de glicose e triglicerídeos em comparação com seus pares com menos tempo. No sexo feminino, verificou-se que as pertencentes ao 3º e 4º quartil apresentaram maiores valores de triglicerídeos e glicose em comparação ao 1º quartil. Associações positivas e significativas foram observadas entre o tempo sentado e os valores de circunferência da cintura (ß = 0,093; p < 0,05), glicose (ß = 0,111; p < 0,05) e pressão arterial diastólica (ß = -0,115; p < 0,05) mesmo após o ajuste para a prática de atividade física moderada-vigorosa. De acordo com os achados do presente estudo, conclui-se que os adolescentes que permaneceram maior tempo sentado apresentaram maiores valores de glicose, triglicerídeos e escore de risco cardiometabólico em comparação aos que despenderam menos tempo

This study aimed to verify if there is an association between sitting time and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. The sample was composed of 454 adolescents (50.6% male) aged between 12 and 18 years. The time spent in sitting and physical activity were assessed through a record of three days by Bouchard. The following cardiometabolic risk factors were analyzed: waist circumference, glucose, HDL ­ cholesterol, tri-glycerides, and blood pressure. It was used the Two-way Analysis of Variance (sex and quartiles) to compare the cardiometabolic risk factors between the quartiles of sitting time. To verify the association between sitting time and cardiometabolic risk factors it was used the multivariate linear regression. Boys of the 4th quartile (higher sitting time) presented higher values of glucose and triglycerides compared to their peers with less time. Girls of the 3rd and 4th quartile presented higher triglycerides and glucose values, compared to the 1st quartile. Significant associations (p < 0.05) were observed between sitting time with waist circumference (ß = 0.093; p < 0.05), glucose (ß = 0.111; p < 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (ß = 0.115; p < 0.05) even after the adjustment for the moderate to vigorous physical activity. According to the findings of this study, we concluded that adolescents who spent more sitting time had higher values of glucose, triglycerides and cardiometabolic risk score compared with who has less sitting time

Associação entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima de adolescentes / Association between physical activity levels and adolescents' self-perception of self-esteem

Resumo O nível de atividade física e o autoconceito de autoestima são fatores adjacentes do status de saúde da população. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a associação entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima de adolescentes. A amostra foi constituída por 98 sujeitos com média de 16,7 ± 1,2 anos. Utilizou-se dois instrumentos: Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física - versão curta e Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. A regressão logística binária (Odds Ratio) com α de 5% foi utilizada. As evidências teóricas giraram em torno da abordagem contemporânea do conceito de saúde e os resultados foram discutidos à luz da teoria comportamental do adolescente. Houve predominância de adolescentes ativos (41,8%), bem como menor proporção de sedentários (4,1%). Apresentaram autoestima elevada 55,1%, enquanto 44,9% revelaram a ter baixa. Conclui-se que não houve associação (Wald F = 2,756; p = 0,600) entre nível de atividade física e autoconceito de autoestima. Por fim, discutiu-se elementos comportamentais do adolescente que apontam lócus às futuras intervenções relativas ao tema com este público.

Abstract Physical activity levels and the self-perception of self-esteem are kindred factors of the health status of the population. Therefore, the scope of this research was to analyze the association between physical activity levels and adolescents' self-perception of self-esteem. The sample consisted of 98 individuals with an average age of 16.7 ± 1.2. Two tools were used: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - short version, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Binary logistic regression (Odds Ratio) with α of 5% was then applied. The theoretical evidence revolved around the contemporary approach to the definition of health; and the results were discussed in the light of the behavioral theory of the adolescent. There was a predominance of active adolescents (41.8%), as well as a smaller proportion of sedentary adolescents (4.1%). A total of 55.1% had high self-esteem, while 44.9% were found to have low self-esteem. The conclusion drawn is that there was no association (Wald F = 2.756; p = 0.600) between the level of physical activity and the self-perception of self-esteem. Lastly, the behavioral aspects of the adolescent that point to future potential areas of investigation related to the theme of this group were discussed.

Cardiorespiratory fitness associated to teenagers' fat: vo2max cutoff point / Aptidão cardiorrespiratória associada à gordura de adolescentes: ponto de corte do vo2máx

ABSTRACT Objective: To associate the Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) with body fat percentage (%BF), and to establish the best VO2max cutoff point for predicting risk %BF in teenagers. Methods: This study was carried out with 979 subjects aged 10 to 18.8 years, 556 (56.8%) girls. The 20 m shuttle run protocol determined the VO2max, which was analyzed in quintiles and in a numeric scale. Cutaneous fold equations determined the %BF, later classified as risk to health/obesity when >25 in girls and >20 in boys. Regression method was used - Odds Ratio (OR) and Receiver Operating Characteristics Curve (ROC curve) with α <5%. Results: From the total number of valid cases, 341 (65.6%) girls and 202 (53.2%) boys presented %BF of risk, and a larger proportion of %BF of risk was observed in the 1st quintile of the VO2max for both genders. There was inverse association between VO2max and %BF of risk from the 4th quintile (OR 1.84, 95%CI 1.05-3.24) until the 1st quintile (OR 4.74, 95%CI 2.44-9.19) for girls, and from the 2nd quintile (OR 2.99, 95%CI 1.48-6.00) until the 1st quintile (OR 5.60, 95%CI 2.64-11.87) for boys. As analytic highlights, VO2max Cutoff points for prediction of %BF of risk were ≤40.9 mL/kg-1/min-1 (AUC: 0.65; p<0.001) for girls and ≤44.8 mL/kg-1/min-1 (AUC: 0.66; p<0.001)for boys.. Conclusions: VO2max was inversely associated to the %BF, and VO2max cutoff points for prediction of %BF of risk are important results to generate action to fight early obesity.

RESUMO Objetivo: Associar o Consumo Máximo de Oxigênio (VO2máx) com o % de Gordura Corporal (%GC) e estabelecer o melhor ponto de corte do VO2máx para a previsão do %GC de risco em adolescentes. Métodos: Estudo realizado com uma amostra de 979 sujeitos entre 10 e 18,8 anos, sendo 556 (56,8%) meninas. O protocolo shuttle run de 20 m determinou o VO2máx, que foi analisado em quintil e escala numérica. Equações de dobras cutâneas determinaram o %GC, posteriormente classificado como risco à saúde/obesidade quando >25, para meninas, e >20, para meninos. Utilizou-se regressão - Odds Ratio (OR) e Curva Característica de Operação do Receptor (curva ROC) com α <5%. Resultados: Do total de casos válidos, 341 (65,6%) meninas e 202 (53,2%) meninos apresentaram %GC de risco, e constatou-se maior proporção do %GC de risco no 1º quintil do VO2máx para ambos os sexos. Houve associação inversa entre VO2máx e %GC de risco do 4º quintil (OR 1,84, IC95% 1,05-3,24) até o 1º quintil (OR 4,74, IC95% 2,44-9,19) para meninas, e do 2º quintil (OR 2,99, IC95% 1,48-6,00) até o 1º quintil (OR 5,60, IC95% 2,64-11,87) para meninos. Pontos de corte do VO2máx para previsão do %GC de risco ≤40,9 mL/kg-1/min-1 (Area Under the Curve (Área Sob a Curva) - AUC: 0,65; p<0,001) para meninas e ≤44,8 mL/kg-1/min-1 (AUC: 0,66; p<0,001) para meninos foram destaques analíticos. Conclusões: VO2máx esteve associado inversamente ao %GC­, e os pontos de corte do VO2máx para a previsão do %GC de risco são resultados importantes para ações de combate à obesidade precoce.
