20.500.12556/RUL-147373 Physical fitness trajectories from childhood to adolescence in extremely preterm children a longitudinal cohort study Objective: Cohort studies on physical fitness (PF) in former extremely preterm children are scarce and yield conflicting results. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of extremely preterm birth on PF in school‐age with a focus on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Methods: Eighty school‐aged children were enrolled in the longitudinal cohort study. Fifty were born extremely preterm (<completed 28 weeks of gestation): 19 had BPD, and 31 did not; 30 term‐born healthy children were included as controls. They were monitored annually throughout primary school (ages 7–14 years) with eight annual fitness testings within the Slovenian national surveillance system of children's somatic and motor development (SLOfit). The physical fitness index (PFI), calculated as the mean of percentiles of eight fitness tests, was used as an indicator of overall PF. Generalised estimating equations were used to compare changes in PFI between ages 7 and 14 in the three cohort groups: preterm children with BPD, preterm children without BPD and term controls. Results: Preterm children with BPD had significantly and persistently lower PFI than preterm children without BPD and term‐born children throughout primary school age. Their PFI was less than half that of national median values (15.1st–19.7th percentile). Preterm children without BPD experienced progressive improvement in PFI during their school age (from 32.6th to 44.7th percentile of national median PFI values), while the ones with BPD did not. Conclusion: Extreme prematurity per se is not a risk factor for lower PF at school age. However, if complicated by BPD, PF is significantly and sustainably reduced. sport adolescents bronchopulmonary dysplasia children motor development physical fitness šport mladostniki bronhopulmonalna displazija otroci motorični razvoj telesne sposobnosti true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-07-03 12:31:04 2023-07-03 12:31:05 2024-10-02 13:01:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1904-1911 iss. 7 Vol. 58 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796:616.235-053.6 1099-0496 10.1002/ppul.26410 149086979 Pediatric_Pulmonology_-_2023_-_Praprotnik_-_Physical_fitness_trajectories_from_childhood_to_adolescence_in_extremely.pdf Pediatric_Pulmonology_-_2023_-_Praprotnik_-_Physical_fitness_trajectories_from_childhood_to_adolescence_in_extremely.pdf 1 734935C3D56F72BCE1F4B7F2DC0B86CD c7e12f2c773a0e58881b0817295be4704a75fb7d4b75ac869ec6e2d8d083a2e9 fe1c3dc2-198c-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170920 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ppul.26410 1 4db07dfd-198c-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170919 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
