Serum cobalt in children with essential hypertension

Article Abstract:

The serum cobalt concentrations in children with hypertension are determined and the correlation between serum cobalt and some biological markers of the extracellular matrix of the vascular wall, that is, anti-elastin and anti-collagen type IV antibodies, is studied. The results have suggested the existence of a correlation between changes in levels of serum cobalt, total cholesterol, anti-collagen type IV antibodies, and essential hypertension in children.

Developmental coordination disorder and aerobic fitness: Is it all in their heads or is measurement still a problem?

Article Abstract:

A study on reasons for children with developmental coordination disorder having lower aerobic fitness levels than children without the disorder is presented. One reason for children performing less well on tests of aerobic endurance is because they do not believe themselves to be as adequate as other children at physically active pursuits.

Longitudinal follow-up of fitness during childhood: Interaction with physical activity

Article Abstract:

An analysis of health-related fitness values during childhood in relation to changes in physical activity level is presented. Increasing physical activity from childhood to adolescence is not sufficient to be more fit, but children who stayed active were the fittest, particularly the girls.
