Robinson Ramírez-Vélez,Alejandro Anzola,Javier Martínez-Torres,Andrés Vivas,Alejandra Tordecilla-Sanders,Daniel Humberto Prieto-Benavides,Mikel Izquierdo,Jorge Enrique Correa-Bautista,Antonio García-Hermoso +8 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in obese than in non-obese schoolchildren, and diagnoses in schoolchildren strongly depend on the definition chosen, which may be relevant to health promotion efforts for Colombian youth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normative Reference Values for Handgrip Strength in Colombian Schoolchildren: The FUPRECOL Study.
Robinson Ramírez-Vélez,Olimpo Morales,Jhonatan C. Peña-Ibagon,Adalberto Palacios-López,Daniel Humberto Prieto-Benavides,Andrés Vivas,Jorge Enrique Correa-Bautista,Felipe Lobelo,Alicia M. Alonso-Martínez,Mikel Izquierdo +9 more

TL;DR: Findings indicate that efforts to improve MF in young adults may decrease MetS risk partially through an indirect effect on improvements to adiposity levels, and weight reduction should be taken into account as a complementary goal to improvements in MF within exercise programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results provide sex- and age-specific normative reference standards for skinfold thickness values from a population from Bogotá, Colombia, and show that subscapular and triceps skinfolds and T + SS have a high discriminatory power in the identification of overweight and obesity in the sample population in this study.
