Fitness is a Stronger Predictor of Fasting Insulin Levels than Fatness in Overweight Male Middle-School Children
Abstract
We studied the relationship between % body fat (%BF), cardiovascular fitness (CVF), and insulin resistance (IR) in overweight middle-school children.Middle school children (n = 106, body mass index [BMI] > 95th percentile for age) underwent evaluation of body composition, maximal volume of oxygen utilization (VO2) uptake/kg lean body mass (VO2max/kgLBM), and fasting glucose and insulin (FI) concentrations and derived homeostasis model assessment...
