Normative data for handgrip strength in children and adolescents in the Maule Region, Chile: Evaluation based on chronological and biological age
(2018)
Background: Hand grip strength (HGS) is associated with a number of causes resulting in cardiovascular death, in addition to bone fragility, and the presence of sarcopenia. The goal of our study was to analyze HGS of ...
Reference norms for evaluating maximum expiratory flow of children and adolescents of the Maule Region in Chile
(2018)
Background: The norms for evaluating the maximum expiratory flow (MEF) usually are developed according to chronological age and height. However, to date, little research has been conducted using reference values that take ...
Maximum oxygen consumption. Validity of the run test of 20 meters and proposal of equations for prediction in young people
(2020)
The purpose of this study was: (a) to verify the validity of a 20 m round trip run test for young athletes; and (b) to propose regression equations for predicting V[O.sub.2] max in young athletes. The sample for this study ...
Validation of a self-perceived adaptive behaviors scale in older chilean women and percentiles for evaluation
(2021)
Healthy ageing means optimizing opportunities that allow older individuals to participate actively in society without discrimination. Learning adaptive behaviors (AB) may be extremely important for individuals for all ...
Regulation data for the horizontal jump of children and adolescents
(2021)
The Horizontal Jump (HJ) is a daily tool that could be used to categorize the level of muscle fitness performance of the lower limbs. The goal was to compare the muscle fitness with those of international studies and to ...
Establishing percentiles for blood pressure based on absolute height for children and adolescents
(2021)
Background: Evaluating blood pressure (BP) is one element for diagnosing and preventing disease in student
populations. The objectives of this research were to (a) identify the range of height for measuring BP adjusted ...
Relationship between the body mass index and the ponderal index with physical fitness in adolescent students
(2022)
Background: The relationship between the Body Mass Index (BMI) with physical fitness in children and adolescent populations from diverse regions are consistent. However, the relationship between the Ponderal Index (PI) ...
Physical growth and body adiposity curves in students of the Maule Region (Chile)
(2019)
Objectives: Physical growth and body adiposity patterns provide relevant information to infer the nutritional and health status of students. Our objectives were (a) to compare the variables of body adiposity and physical ...
Muscle mass in children and adolescents: Proposed equations and reference values for assessment
(2019)
Objectives: The goal of this study was to develop regression equations to estimate LM with anthropometric variables and to propose percentiles for evaluating by age and sex.
