Criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability of the 20 m Square Shuttle Test
(2008)
We assessed validity and reliability of the new 20 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (over(V, ̇) O2 max) and compared it with its predecessor, the 20 m Multistage Shuttle Run Test (MST). ...
Longitudinal preventive-screening cutoffs for metabolic syndrome in adolescents
(2008)
Objective: To detect metabolic risk factor cutoff points in adolescence for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome that develops at the age of 17 years (MS17). Design: This study adopted a 6-year design incorporating four ...
Passive smoking, asthma and allergy in children

Despite the recent campaigns to eliminate smoking and hinder the detrimental effects of passive smoking (PS), actual smoking rates still increase worldwide. Several physiological systems, with the respiratory being the ...
A comparison of developmental coordination disorder prevalence rates in Canadian and Greek children
(2006)
We examined whether lifestyle differences between Canadian and Greek children may be reflected in Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) prevalence rates. Data revealed that the relatively inactive Greek children ...
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
(2005)
Objective: Maximal oxygen uptake ( Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo2CR screening ...
A brief exposure to moderate passive smoke increases metabolism and thyroid hormone secretion
(2007)
Context: Active smoking influences normal metabolic status and thyroid function. Objective: The objective was to assess experimentally the effects of 1 h of moderate passive smoking in a controlled simulated bar/ restaurant ...
Longitudinal modeling of adiposity in periadolescent Greek school children
(2005)
Purpose: Obesity has an etiology that is multidimensional in nature. Given the dearth of longitudinal data, we examined changes in adipose tissue (Ad) in relation to physical activity levels (PA), aerobic fitness (AF), and ...
