Study on Mental Health Improvements
Abstract
Generally, physical fitness portrays a ton of credits relating to how well one performs physical activity. Participating in sport and physical activities, including physical fitness works out, expects a basic occupation in propelling health and wellness among youngsters and teens. Not solely does such development assist with working on the physical fitness and health of youngsters and youth, yet likewise it is a vital strategy for stemming youth robustness—a fundamental health need for our country. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between health-related physical fitness and sociodemographic factors in students from a capital city of a Brazilian state. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 605 students aged 15 to 19 years. Sociodemographic data were collected, including gender, age, education level and family income, and correlated to physical fitness levels. Results. The percentages of students with unhealthy body composition, unhealthy skeletal muscle fitness and aerobic fitness levels were 23.8%, 34.4% and 30.5%, respectively. There was a trend for fewer male adolescents (OR: 0.65; IC95%: 0.42–0.98) to have unhealthy body composition. Students from lower socioeconomic families were less likely to have musculoskeletal unfitness (OR = 0.60; IC95%: 0.41–0.89). In relation to aerobic fitness, male students (OR = 3.86; IC95%: 2.67–5.58) and those aged 17–19 years (RO = 1.49; IC95%: 1.02–2.177) were more likely to be unfit. Conclusions. It is important to encourage young people to take part in sports and physical activities at moderate to vigorous intensities in order to improve their body composition, aerobic capacity and physical fitness.
