20.500.12556/RUL-144656 Assessment of secular trends and health risk in paediatric cardiorespiratory fitness from the Republic of Slovenia Objectives: Determine the temporal trends in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and health risk of Slovenian schoolchildren across a 20-year span, assessed via 20-m shuttle run (20mSRT), including defining centile ranges and possible health risk(s) for each generation. Methods: Nationally representative data from 9,426 healthy schoolchildren (6–14 years old) were used to determine changes in CRF across three generations, in 1993 (n = 3,174), 2003 (n = 3,457) and 2013 (n = 2,795) from a multistage, stratified, decennial study. Results: 20mSRT performance declined ∼2.8% from 1993 to 2003, independent of age or sex of the child. This trend was reversed in 2013, increasing by ∼8.2% across all age groups, for both girls and boys, for a net increase of 5.4%. The magnitude of improvement was similar for both sexes. Moreover, girls in the 2013 generation (for ages 10–13 year) completed more stages than their 2003 male counterparts. Across all generations, children achieved CRF values corresponding to low cardiovascular risk for future health outcomes. Centile values ranged from “low” to “very high” depending on age, sex, and generation of the sample. Conclusion: Negative trends in CRF from Slovenian schoolchildren were reversed by 2013, indicating that Slovenia should continue implementing progressive national physical fitness strategies introduced between sampling periods (i.e., 2003–2013). Additionally, due to the universal nature of Slovenian schoolchildren achieving “healthy cut-off values” for 20mSRT (generation-inclusive), it is suggested that more specific cut-off criteria are developed, especially for younger children, and girls, so that future CRF results can be more accurately applied for both clinical and pedagogical users. sport physical activity health risk generation shuttle run temporal trends population health youth cardiorespiratory fitness šport fizična dejavnost telesna dejavnost zdravstveno tveganje generacije tek trenutni trendi zdravje prebivalstva mladi kardiorespiratorni fitnes true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-03-07 09:56:27 2023-03-07 09:56:28 2023-03-08 03:33:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 12 str. art. 644781 Vol. 12 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.12:796 1664-042X 10.3389/fphys.2021.644781 52849411 fphys-12-644781.pdf fphys-12-644781.pdf 1 1AD59FC69E9C38884C1661C82A7AC611 09f86dc298c016725cc236a3b8eec6f01b67e0b43f38c6febe599f8c9eb42d92 3b7d172d-bcc6-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167102 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2021.644781/full 0 19b37585-bcc6-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167101 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
