Association of Physical Fitness and Anthropometric Parameters With Lung Function in 7-Year-Old Children
CONCLUSIONS: Handgrip strength and waist circumference were associated with lung function in healthy children highlighting the influence of upper body muscular strength and trunk dimension on lung function. Our results corroborate the need to promote physical fitness during childhood to protect against lung complications in later on in life.PMID:38307007 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0128 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Reference Values in the 6-Minute Walk Test in Chilean Children Aged 3-10  Years and Relationship With Cardiometabolic Risk
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a reference equation and an age- and sex-adjusted percentile curve to assess the predicted 6MWT performance in a cohort of prepubertal Chilean children. The 6-minute walk distance depends mainly on age; however, other variables, such as resting heart rate, BP, skinfold fat, and waist circumference, add significant information and should be taken into account.PMID:38307014 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0127 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Clustering Patterns of 24-Hour Physical Activity in Children 6-36 Months Old
CONCLUSION: Twenty-four-hour PA can be clustered into medium, high, and late PA. Further research is needed into the consequences of late sleeping in children at this age. Clusters are associated with household and childcare factors, and cluster membership is dynamic across time.PMID:38307017 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0055 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Gamification to Promote Physical Activity in Youth and Mothers With Obesity
CONCLUSION: Gamification did not promote physical activity levels in mother-youth dyads with obesity. SSB intake declined in mothers with obesity in both study arms.PMID:38307006 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0053 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Physical Activity, but Not Body Mass Index Is Associated With Blood Pressure in Young Children
CONCLUSIONS: Participation in PA, but not obesity, was related to lower BP levels in young children. The impact PA has on BP is the same regardless of obesity status. Thus, young children should be encouraged to be active in different intensities to benefit the cardiovascular system.PMID:38281486 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0088 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Child Soccer Players' Perceptions of Strength and Conditioning Training: A Multimethod Approach Using Write, Draw, Show and Tell
CONCLUSIONS: Participants favor integrating strength and conditioning into their soccer training rather than conducting it as a separate session, which is reflected in their enjoyment. Nonetheless, children remain apprehensive about the potential effects of this type of training on their growth.PMID:38242102 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0102 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Postural Balance in Boys With Intellectual Disabilities Who Participate in Soccer Training
CONCLUSION: Soccer participation may have a positive effect on postural balance in boys with intellectual disabilities. These findings may have implications for the development of exercise programs to improve postural balance and reduce the risk of falls in this population.PMID:38242112 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0098 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)

Validation and Calibration for Embedding Rating of Perceived Exertion Into High-Intensity Interval Exercise in Adolescents: A Lab-Based Study
CONCLUSION: RPE has some utility in evaluating intensity during lab-based running or cycling HIIE in adolescents. Future studies should expand the validation and calibration of RPE for prescribing and monitoring HIIE in children and adolescents in field-based contexts.PMID:38194950 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0084 (Source: Pediatric Exercise Science)
