Cardiovascular fitness and the metabolic syndrome in overweight Latino youths

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether cardiovascular fitness (VO (sub 2max)) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and its individual features in overweight Latino youths. The results reveal that (VO (sub 2max)) is not correlated with any individual risk factor of the metabolic syndrome after adjusting for gender, age, and body composition in partial analysis.

The metabolic cost of force generation

Article Abstract:

Research shows that the metabolic cost associated with various physical activities varies with activity type, suggesting differences in the muscle contraction behavior, fiber types involved, or mechanical advantage of each activity. Data indicate that inclusion of biomechanics may improve the general relation between the metabolic cost and activity type.
