Growth in peak aerobic power during adolescence
Article Abstract:
Peak aerobic power (peak VO(sub 2)) was measured annually during a maximal treadmill test with the Bruce protocol to model the growth of peak aerobic power during adolescence in both sexes followed longitudinally from 10 to 18 yr. Growth in peak VO(sub 2) exhibited a clear growth spurt in both sexes during adolescence and growth spurt occurs earlier in females but is of greater magnitude in males.

Estimation of total-body skeletal muscle mass in children and adolescents
Article Abstract:
The estimation of total-body skeletal muscle mass is predicted in healthy adults using anthropometric measurements and urine creatinine excretion. The result shows that the determination of total-body skeletal muscle mass in children and adolescents can be highly validated with satisfactory confidence by simple anthropometric measurements or 24-h urine creatinine excretion.

Longitudinal modeling of adiposity in periadolescent Greek school children
Article Abstract:
The changes in Adipose tissue (Ad) in relation to Physical Activity level (PA), aerobic fitness (AF), and Energy Intake (EI) and their longitudinal association in Greek schoolchildren are examined. The result demonstrates that longitudinal changes in Ad are mainly accompanied by change in PA and, to a lesser extent, AF levels.
