Longitudinal Tracking of Objective Measures of Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Body Composition, and Physical Activity in Children
These findings support the need for targeted approaches during the early school years to prevent the consolidation of unfavorable profiles in fitness, adiposity, and physical activity. In addition, population-wide approaches throughout the school-age years may be important in supporting fitness development in girls, given the greater variability observed in CRF.
