Resumo: | Cardiorespiratory fitness is an important health indicator in young people. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of age, gender, body adiposity, and ethnicity on cardiorespiratory fitness in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. The sample consisted of 266 adolescents aged 12-18 years [112 boys (80 Caucasians and 32 African-Portuguese, AP) and 154 girls (109 Caucasians and 45 AP)]. Percent body fat was estimated with a hand-to-hand bioelectrical impedance device (BF300, OMROM). Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by a shuttle run test (Fitnessgram battery). Multiple regression models were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that girls presented lower maximal oxygen consumption and higher percent body fat than boys. Cardiorespiratory fitness was lower in Caucasian than in AP girls. Multiple regression analysis showed that percent body fat, age and the interaction of age with being Caucasian and age with female gender were significant determinants that were negatively associated with cardiorespiratory fitness. The results suggest that maximal oxygen consumption is lower in adolescents with higher adiposity and in older adolescents. The findings highlight the importance of promoting physical fitness in schools across ages, especially in older adolescents, adjusting for determinant factors such as gender and ethnicity |

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a influência da idade, sexo, adiposidade corporal e etnia na aptidão cardiorrespiratória em uma amostra de adolescentes portugueses. A amostra foi composta por 266 adolescentes, 112 rapazes (80 caucasianos e 32 Afro-Portugueses) e 154 moças(109 caucasianas e 45 Afro-Portuguesas) com idades entre os 12 e 18 anos. Para avaliação da aptidão cardiorrespiratória, foi utilizado o Teste de vai e vem de 20 metros, para a determinação do consumo máximo de oxigénio (VO2max). A impedância bioelétrica (BF300, OMROM) foi utilizada para a estimativa do percentual da massa gorda (%MG). Na análise estatística, foram utilizados modelos de regressão linear múltipla. As adolescentes do sexo feminino apresentaram valores inferiores de VO2max e superiores de %MG em comparação aos do sexo masculino. Em relação a etnia, as moças caucasianas apresentaram valores inferiores de VO2max quando comparadas com as afro-portuguesas. O modelo de regressão múltipla demonstrou que o %MG, a idade e a interação da idade com ser caucasiano e da idade com ser do sexo feminino foram determinantes significativos, apresentando uma associação negativa com a aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Os resultados sugerem que os adolescentes com maior adiposidade e os mais velhos apresentam um menor consumo máximo de oxigênio. Os dados parecem salientar a importância da promoção da aptidão física nas escolas ao longo da idade, especialmente, os adolescentes mais velhos e adequando a fatores determinantes, como o sexo e a etnia.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
